Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a case management order dated 13 December 2023, Employment Judge Ayre warned the claimant that his claims might be struck out. The order recorded that the unfair dismissal claim could not proceed because he had not worked for the respondent for two years, and that the disability relied on in the disability discrimination complaint was specifically excluded from the Equality Act 2010 definition of disability.
The claimant was given seven days to object or request a hearing, but he did not do so. On 11 September 2024 the tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to deal with the claims and that they had no reasonable prospect of success, and it struck out the claim. No monetary remedy was awarded.

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.
