Mr N Davidson v Royal Mail Group Ltd: 1801903/2017
JUDGMENT
The claimant’s unfair dismissal complaint is struck out and the hearing on 29 January 2018 vacated.REASONS
[1]The claimant’s only complaint is of unfair dismissal.[2]Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a claimant to have not less than two years service to make an unfair dismissal complaint.[3]On 15 December 2017 the claimant was asked to show cause why the complaint should not be struck out for a failure to provide evidence of two years’ service.[4]The claimant provided information, albeit late; the respondent has provided further explanation as to the basis for the claimant’s belief in having two years’ service.[5]On all the information before me I am satisfied that the evidential basis for asserting two years’ service is without any reasonable prospect of success and the claim must be struck out.
