Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that Mrs J Rowland had been employed by Zoe Jarvis for less than two years, so section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 meant she was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal claim.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but the tribunal recorded that she did not provide an acceptable reason. The judgment therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint.
The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
