Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claimant complained of unfair dismissal. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have not less than two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.

The tribunal stated that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years and that the claimant agreed with this in reply. The unfair dismissal complaint was therefore struck out, while 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.
