Employment Judge Siddall

Date 17 August 2021

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 a 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 appears to believe that he can claim automatic unfair dismissal because of a disability. This is not correct although he can bring a claim relating to his dismissal under the Equality Act 2010.

[6]Accordingly, the complaint of unfair dismissal is struck out. The claimant’s other complaints are not affected by this judgment.
