Mr D Dean
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr D Dean presented a complaint of unfair dismissal against KSB Catering & Hospitality Recruitment Consultants. The tribunal held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have at least two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint, and found that Mr Dean had been employed for less than two years.
On that basis, the tribunal found that he was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint. It also recorded that he had been given the opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not give an acceptable reason. The unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out.
The judgment states that Mr Dean's other complaints were not affected by this decision. No monetary remedy was awarded in this judgment.

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.
