Claimant v DTDB Limited

Outcome

Claimant fails

Individual claims

Unfair Dismissalstruck out

The claimant had less than two years' service and therefore did not meet the qualifying period required under s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996 to bring an unfair dismissal claim. The claimant accepted the claim should be struck out.

Facts

The claimant was employed by DTDB Limited for less than two years before her employment ended. She brought a claim for unfair dismissal along with other complaints not specified in this judgment.

Decision

The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim because the claimant did not have the requisite two years' continuous employment required under s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant accepted this position.

Practical note

Ordinary unfair dismissal claims require two years' qualifying service, and claims brought without this will be struck out regardless of merit.
