Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningDr M I Malik brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Seren Gobaith Hospital. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years. On that basis, the claimant was not entitled to bring the proceedings.
The tribunal also noted that the claimant had been given an opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out, but did not do so. The judgment therefore states that the claim is struck out. No monetary award is recorded in the 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.
