Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Lennox Burtoo's unfair dismissal claim against NSL limited. It found that he had not been employed for two years or more and that none of the specific circumstances allowing an unfair dismissal claim without that service applied. The Tribunal therefore lacked jurisdiction to consider the claim.
The Tribunal wrote to Burtoo on 11 May 2026 warning that it was considering striking out the claim and giving him an opportunity to explain why it should proceed or to request a hearing. He did not reply. Employment Judge Lumby found that the grounds for strike-out under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 applied and that striking out the claim accorded with the overriding objective in Rule 3. The judgment was approved on 20 July 2026 and records 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.
