Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against MSI Reproductive Choices UK. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service for an unfair dismissal claim, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that the claimant was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. The claimant was given the opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not do so.
The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out. The tribunal stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment.

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.
