Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr Arnas Vaitiekaitis's complaint of unfair dismissal. It recorded that, by letter dated 10 October 2024, the claimant had been given the opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the complaint should not be struck out because he did not have two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim.
The claimant did not make written representations and did not request a hearing. The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. The judgment states that this does not affect the separate complaints of breach of contract and unlawful deduction from wages, which were to proceed to the final hearing.

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.
