Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal. It recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service for such a complaint.
The claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years. The tribunal therefore held that she was not entitled to bring an unfair dismissal complaint and struck it out. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints, including a claim of discriminatory constructive dismissal, were not affected by this decision.

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.
