Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal recorded that the sole complaint was unfair dismissal. It found that Ms Easterbrook did not have the necessary two years' service required for the complaint to proceed.

The tribunal had written to the claimant on 2 July 2025 notifying her that it intended to strike out the claim on that basis. Although she responded by emphasising the unfairness of the dismissal, the tribunal stated that this did not affect the two year rule and that it had no discretion to waive the requirement.

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.
