Claimant v Tasib Hussain-1st and Last Gaming Events Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out because the claimant did not meet the statutory two-year qualifying period required under section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant was employed for less than two years and therefore had no right to a redundancy payment.
Facts
The claimant, Mrs E Mesaros, was employed by Tasib Hussain-1st and Last Gaming Events Ltd for less than two years. Following her dismissal, she brought a claim for a redundancy payment. The tribunal considered the claimant's length of service against the statutory qualifying period and gave her an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the redundancy payment claim because the claimant had not completed the two-year qualifying period required under section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant was given an opportunity to provide reasons why the claim should proceed but did not give an acceptable explanation. The claimant's other complaints remain unaffected.
Practical note
Redundancy payment claims require two years' continuous employment, and claims brought without meeting this threshold will be struck out as having no reasonable prospect of success.
