Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant was employed for less than two years and therefore did not meet the qualifying service requirement under s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant failed to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out.
Facts
The claimant L Williams was employed by Anchor Hanover Group for less than two years before being dismissed. The claimant brought a complaint of ordinary unfair dismissal. The judgment notes that the claimant has other complaints that are not affected by this decision.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the ordinary unfair dismissal complaint because the claimant did not meet the statutory two-year qualifying service requirement under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant was given an opportunity to provide reasons why the claim should not be struck out but failed to do so.
Practical note
Ordinary unfair dismissal claims require two years' continuous service, and claims brought without this qualifying period will be struck out as the tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear them.
