Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningSonny Kone's complaint of unfair dismissal against McDonald's Restaurants Ltd was struck out. The tribunal found that he had been employed by the respondent for less than two years. Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out but did not provide an acceptable reason. The judgment made no monetary award and stated that the claimant's other complaints were not affected.

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.
