Claimant v Colosseum Dental UK Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out because the claimant did not have the required two years' continuous service under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant was employed for less than two years and failed to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Colosseum Dental UK Limited for less than two years before her employment ended. She brought a claim for unfair dismissal along with other unspecified complaints. The respondent is a dental services company.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim because the claimant did not meet the statutory requirement of two years' continuous service under section 108 ERA 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 claimant's other complaints were unaffected by this judgment.
Practical note
Ordinary unfair dismissal claims require two years' continuous employment, and claims lacking this qualifying period will be struck out as having no reasonable prospect of success.
