Mr F Lightbody v CWT Commodities Ltd: 2402522/2023
JUDGMENT
The complaint of Unfair Dismissal is struck out.REASONS
[1]By a letter dated 20 February 2023 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:• Under section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 claimants are not entitled to bring a complaint of unfair dismissal unless they were employed for two years or more except in certain specific circumstances which do not seem to apply in your case.[2]The claimant has failed to make representations in writing, or has failed to make any sufficient representations, why this should not be done or to request a hearing. The complaint of Unfair Dismissal is therefore struck out.[3]The claimant’s claim for wrongful dismissal and any claim for failure to be accompanied at a disciplinary hearing will proceed to final hearing. Employment Judge KM Ross Date: 30 March 2023[1]The claim for breach of contract is not well-founded and is dismissed.[2]The complaint made under section 11 of the Employment Relations Act 1999 for breach of section 10 of the Employment Relations Act 1999, is also not well-founded and is dismissed.
