Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss L Bamford brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Huddersfield Dental Care Centre. The tribunal identified section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as the relevant threshold provision for unfair dismissal claims and recorded that the claimant had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal found that the claimant was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal proceedings. It also recorded that the claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not give an acceptable reason. The claim was therefore struck out. No monetary remedy was awarded.

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.
