Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant did not have the required two years' continuous service under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 to bring an unfair dismissal claim. The claimant was employed for less than two years and failed to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out.
Facts
Mr O Demirus brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against ZeroAvia. He was employed by the respondent for less than two years. The judgment notes that other complaints brought by the claimant are not affected by this judgment, indicating multiple claims were filed.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint because the claimant did not have the required two years' continuous service under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant was given an opportunity to provide a reason why the complaint should not be struck out but failed to do so.
Practical note
A claimant must have at least two years' continuous employment to bring an ordinary unfair dismissal claim, and this jurisdictional requirement can be determined as a preliminary issue leading to strike-out.
