Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss S Fawcett brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Heidelberg Materials. The tribunal identified section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as requiring two years' service before an unfair dismissal complaint can be brought.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. It therefore concluded that she was not entitled to bring the proceedings. The tribunal also recorded that the information provided by the claimant on 10 May 2024 did not remedy that point.
Accordingly, the claim was struck out. No monetary remedy was awarded or assessed.

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.
