EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case Number: 8000403/2024 Mr D Ukaenwe
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal reconsidered and revoked an earlier judgment dated 24 September 2024 under rule 72, stating that the earlier judgment had been promulgated because of an administrative error. The Tribunal said the judgment should only have referred to the claimant's unfair dismissal claim, rather than the claimant's entire claim.
The Tribunal recorded that it was common ground that the claimant lacked the two years' service normally required by section 108(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 to claim unfair dismissal, and that the claimant did not appear to rely on any exception under section 108(2). After a strike out warning was issued and the claimant did not provide an acceptable reason or request a hearing, the unfair dismissal claim was struck out as having no reasonable prospect of success.

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.
