Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 21 January 2025, the tribunal gave Catherine Palmer an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why her unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out. The stated basis was that she did not have the necessary two years' service for such a claim and that it therefore appeared to have no reasonable prospect of success.
The claimant did not make written representations or request a hearing. The tribunal therefore struck out the unfair dismissal complaint under Rule 38.
The judgment records that the claimant's remaining claim(s) will be listed for hearing in due course.

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.
