Claimant v Kiren Foods Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
Claimant had less than two years' service and therefore did not meet the qualifying period required under Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. Claimant failed to provide acceptable reason why complaint should not be struck out.
Facts
N Manzoor brought an unfair dismissal complaint against Kiren Foods Limited. The claimant was employed by the respondent for less than two years. The judgment notes that other complaints not affected by this judgment remain outstanding.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint because the claimant did not meet the two-year qualifying period required under Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant failed to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out.
Practical note
Unfair dismissal claims require a minimum of two years' continuous service, and claims lacking this qualifying period will be struck out unless they fall within an exception such as automatic unfair dismissal.
