Claimant v City House Platform Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant had less than two years' service and therefore did not meet the statutory qualifying period under s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant failed to give an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out despite being given the opportunity.
Facts
The claimant was employed by City House Platform Ltd for less than two years and was dismissed. The claimant brought a complaint of unfair dismissal along with other unspecified complaints. The respondent appears not to have participated in the proceedings.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim on the basis that the claimant did not meet the two-year qualifying period required by s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant failed to provide an acceptable reason why the claim should proceed. Other complaints were unaffected.
Practical note
Claimants must have at least two years' continuous service to bring an ordinary unfair dismissal claim unless the dismissal falls within an automatically unfair category.
