Outcome

Claimant fails

Individual claims

Unfair Dismissalstruck out

The claimant did not have the required two years continuous service under s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996 to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. 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

Dr Aondoakaa was employed by Compass Homes Ltd for less than two years. The claimant brought a complaint of unfair dismissal. The judgment notes that the claimant has other complaints which are not affected by this strike-out.

Decision

The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint because the claimant did not have the required two years continuous employment under s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant was given an opportunity to provide reasons why the complaint should not be struck out but failed to give an acceptable reason.

Practical note

Unfair dismissal claims require two years qualifying service under s.108 ERA 1996, and claims brought without sufficient service will be struck out as having no reasonable prospect of success.
