Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the complaint of unfair dismissal under Employment Tribunal Rule 38(1)(a) because it had no reasonable prospect of success.
The tribunal explained that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have not less than two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, subject to specific circumstances which did not appear to apply. The claimant did not respond to the tribunal's letter inviting reasons why the complaint should not be struck out, and did not set out a basis for concluding that he had two years' service.

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.
