Claimant v Computershare Investor Services PLC
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out because the claimant did not have the statutory minimum two years' service required under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 to bring an unfair dismissal claim. 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
Mr Kheyre brought a claim for unfair dismissal against his former employer Computershare Investor Services PLC. He had been employed by the respondent for less than two years. The tribunal considered whether the unfair dismissal claim could proceed given the statutory service requirements.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim on the basis that the claimant did not meet the statutory minimum two-year service requirement under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant was given an opportunity to provide reasons why the claim should not be struck out but failed to do so. The judgment notes that other complaints brought by the claimant are unaffected.
Practical note
Unfair dismissal claims require two years' continuous service, and claims lacking this qualifying period will be struck out unless the dismissal falls into an automatically unfair category.
