Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Kate Croucher's unfair dismissal claim. Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. The tribunal found that Croucher had worked for Veolia UK Ltd for less than two years and was therefore not entitled to bring the complaint.
Croucher had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but the tribunal found that she had not provided an acceptable reason. The judgment records no remedy. Her breach of contract claim remains live and was not decided in 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.
