Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss Ella Brandrick brought a single complaint of unfair dismissal against National Windscreens. The tribunal held that, subject to exceptions, section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service before a claimant can bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. It also found that she had failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out. The claim was therefore struck out in its entirety, and the respondent was not required to present a response.

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.
