Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's ordinary unfair dismissal complaint. It recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to bring such a complaint, and found that L Williams had been employed by Anchor Hanover Group for less than two years.
Because the statutory qualifying period was not met, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring an ordinary unfair dismissal complaint. It also noted that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but no acceptable reason was provided.
Accordingly, the complaint of ordinary unfair dismissal was struck out. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
