Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningJason Beach brought a single claim of unfair dismissal against West Midlands Ambulance Service. The tribunal recorded that, subject to certain exceptions, section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint to be brought.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. It also noted that he had been given the opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, but he failed to give an acceptable reason.
The claim was therefore struck out in its entirety. The tribunal also recorded that 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.
