Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant complained of unfair dismissal. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires not less than two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint, and that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years.
The tribunal found that the claimant was not entitled to bring the unfair dismissal complaint and had not given an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity, why it should not be struck out. The complaint of unfair dismissal was struck out; the judgment stated that the claimant's other complaints of disability discrimination were not affected.

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.
