Mr Enda Nkanta
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Enda Nkanta's unfair dismissal claim against St Mary Magdalene Church of England School was struck out as having no reasonable prospects of success. He had less than two years' employment when dismissed. The Tribunal wrote to him on 25 July 2025 explaining the two-year requirement under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and inviting reasons why the claim should not be struck out by 8 August 2025. He did not respond. The Tribunal said it did not appear to have jurisdiction to consider the claim.
The breach of contract claim remains to be heard. Mr Nkanta was directed to provide the Tribunal and the respondent with full details of the alleged breach within two weeks of the order. The judgment records no monetary award.

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.
