JUDGMENT

The claim for a redundancy payment is struck out.

REASONS

[1]The claimants claim the right to a redundancy payment.[2]Section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 says that employees do not have the right to a redundancy payment unless they have been employed for two years or more.[3]The claimants were employed by the respondent for less than two years.[4]Therefore, the claimants do not have the right to a redundancy payment.[5]The claimants were given the opportunity to explain why the claims for a redundancy payment should not be struck out but have not given an acceptable reason.[6]Accordingly, the claims for a redundancy payment are struck out. The claimants’ other complaints are not affected by this judgment. _____________________________ Employment Judge Brace Date: 22 December 2023[1]By a letter dated 11 April 2024 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing, as to why the claim should not be struck out because: the Claimants have not complied with the Order of the Tribunal dated 15 January 2024.[2]The Claimants have failed to make representations in writing, or have failed to make any sufficient representations, why this should not be done or to request a hearing. The claim is therefore struck out.
