JUDGMENT

The complaint that the claimant was unfairly dismissed is struck out.

REASONS

[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. Therefore, the claimant is not entitled to bring such a complaint.[4]The claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out.[5]Accordingly, the complaint of unfair dismissal is struck out. The claimant’s other complaint is not affected by this judgment.[1]The first respondent has made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and is ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £275.50.[2]The claim against the second respondent is dismissed.
