Claimant v Flights Of Fantasy Creative Play Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal dismissed the claim because the claimant did not have sufficient continuity of employment to bring a redundancy payment claim, specifically lacking the required 2 years of service.
Facts
Mr Coffils brought a claim for a redundancy payment against his former employer, Flights Of Fantasy Creative Play Ltd. The claim was based on his employment having been terminated by reason of redundancy.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claim because the claimant had not accrued the minimum two years of continuous service required under the Employment Rights Act 1996 to be entitled to a statutory redundancy payment.
Practical note
Claimants must have at least two years of continuous service to qualify for a statutory redundancy payment, and claims lacking this qualifying service will be dismissed at the preliminary stage.
