Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint. It held that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 required at least two years' service to bring such a claim, and found that Mr A Sanie had been employed for less than two years. On that basis, the tribunal concluded that he was not entitled to present an unfair dismissal complaint.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but he failed to give an acceptable reason. The complaint of unfair dismissal was therefore struck out. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
