Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningHammarskjold Chidawanyika's unfair dismissal claim against DHL Welham Green was struck out. The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed by the respondent for less than two years and therefore did not meet the qualifying service requirement under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out but failed to provide an acceptable reason. The tribunal concluded that the claimant was not entitled to bring the proceedings. No remedy was awarded or addressed.

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.
