JUDGMENT

The complaint that the claimant was unfairly dismissed is struck out.

REASONS

[1]The claimant complains of unfair dismissal.

[2]Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires the Claimant to have not less than two years’ service to make an unfair dismissal complaint.

[3]The Claimant was employed by the Respondent for less than two years.

[4]Therefore, the Claimant is not entitled to bring such a complaint.

[5]The Claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out.

[6]Accordingly, the complaint of unfair dismissal under the Employment Rights Act 1996 is struck out. The Claimant’s other complaints, including a claim of a discriminatory constructive unfair dismissal under s. 39 of the Equality Act 2010, are not affected by this Judgment.
