Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant complained of unfair dismissal. The tribunal stated that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have not less than two years' service to make an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years and was therefore not entitled to bring the proceedings. The claimant had not given an acceptable reason, despite having the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out, and the claim was struck out.

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.
