Claimant v Responsive Advert Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant did not have the required two years' continuous service as required by section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal struck out the claim as the claimant had no entitlement to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
Facts
The claimant brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Responsive Advert Limited. The claimant was employed for less than two years. The judgment notes that the claimant has other complaints that continue and are not affected by this judgment.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint because the claimant did not have the statutory minimum of two years' service required under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant was given an opportunity to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out but failed to do so.
Practical note
Unfair dismissal claims require two years' continuous service unless the dismissal falls within an automatically unfair category, and tribunals will strike out claims where this jurisdictional threshold is not met.
