Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningLaura Zoe Micoud brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Capital Cleaning (Kent) Limited. The tribunal found that she had been employed for less than two years, so section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 meant she was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but she failed to give an acceptable reason. The judgment therefore states that the claim is struck out.

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.
