Case Summary

The claims of detriment for making a protected disclosure were dismissed upon withdrawal by the Claimant. The unfair dismissal claim was struck out by consent as it was presented too early.

Why this outcome?

No qualifying employment period

The unfair dismissal claim was struck out because it was presented before the qualifying 2-year employment period had been completed, making it premature and not yet actionable.
