Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a complaint of unfair dismissal. The tribunal identified section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as requiring two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint.
It found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. On that basis, the claimant was not entitled to bring the proceedings, and the tribunal struck out the claim.
The tribunal also noted that the claimant had been given an opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but failed to do so.

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.
