Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mrs A Coffey, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Sarah Mazzarella. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. It also found that, despite being given the opportunity, the claimant had failed to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out. The judgment therefore records a strike-out of the unfair dismissal complaint and no monetary award.

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.
