Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, A Dragotoniu, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Hazel Tree Treasury UK Limited. The tribunal identified section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as requiring not less than two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint to be brought.
It found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but failed to give an acceptable reason.
On that basis, the tribunal held that the claimant was not entitled to bring the proceedings and struck out the unfair dismissal claim.

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.
