Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant was employed for less than two years and therefore did not meet the qualifying service requirement 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.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Monzo Bank Ltd for less than two years. She brought a complaint of unfair dismissal. The tribunal noted that she also had other complaints which were unaffected by this judgment. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out but failed to provide an acceptable reason.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint because the claimant did not meet the two-year qualifying service requirement under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant's other complaints remain live and are unaffected by this judgment.
Practical note
Unfair dismissal claims require a minimum of two years continuous service, and claims brought without this qualifying period will be struck out regardless of the merits of the case.
