Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It found that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring such a claim, and that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not give an acceptable reason. The judgment records that the unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out. It also states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment.

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.
