Claimant v Greensleeves Care Homes

Outcome

Facts

Mr Shoyombo brought a claim for unfair dismissal against Greensleeves Care Homes. The employment judge considered the claim on the papers and determined that the claimant did not have the required two years' continuous service to bring an ordinary unfair dismissal claim. The judgment noted that the case remains live to deal with the possibility that other claims may be advanced in the claim narrative.

Decision

The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim on the basis that the claimant lacked the statutory qualifying period of two years' service. The case was not entirely dismissed as the tribunal noted that other claims might be identified in the claim narrative, to be clarified at a preliminary hearing.
