Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr A Sharman, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against South Western Ambulance Service NHS Trust. Employment Judge Livesey recorded that the complaint was struck out.
The reason given was that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires not less than two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and the claimant had been employed for less than two years. The tribunal therefore found that he was not entitled to bring the complaint.
The reasons also note that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not give an acceptable reason. On that basis, the complaint of unfair dismissal was struck out.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
