Mr D Pilkington v Broadfield Specialist School and Lancashire County Council: 2405033/2017
JUDGMENT
The claimant’s complaint of unfair dismissal is struck out on the ground that he did not have two years’ service and for that reason had not acquired the right not to be unfairly dismissed.REASONS
[1]The claimant had presented a complaint of unfair dismissal.[2]By a letter dated 14 September 2017 the claimant was informed that it appeared he was not entitled to bring a claim of unfair dismissal on the ground that he was employed to lesson two years.[3]The claimant was informed that unless he gave reasons in writing why that complaint should not be struck out by 2 October 2017 a judge was proposing to strike it out.[4]The claimant did not write to the tribunal by that date. At the preliminary hearing he did not argue that the complaint of unfair dismissal should not be struck out and judgment to that effect is given for that reason.

That being the case, the Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to hear the claimant's complaint of discrimination, which is therefore dismissed.
