JUDGMENT

The claim of unfair dismissal is struck out. This does not affect the remaining claim of discrimination arising from a disability which will proceed.

REASONS

[1]By a letter of 30 July 2024 the Tribunal gave the Claimant an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing as to why the complaint of unfair dismissal should not be struck out because he did not have sufficient service.

[2]The Claimant has said that he made written submissions but they were not received by the Tribunal. They were read out today and were insufficient – the claim appears to be that the dismissal was discriminatory, which is not a claim of unfair dismissal. This is not a claim of automatic unfair dismissal. Having discussed the matter with the Claimant at today’s hearing, he understood that the claim was not for unfair dismissal, but could be addressed under the Equality Act 2010.
