Mr S Jones v Kram Contract Cleaning Ltd: 2600777/2020
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 unless reason is shown why one of the exceptions is relied on.[4]The claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out. Accordingly, the complaint of unfair dismissal is struck out. The claimant’s other complaints are not affected by this judgment. Employment Judge Clark Date: 19/8/2020[1]By an unless order dated 20 August 2020, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide the following information by 2 September 2020:• An explanation for his non-attendance at a telephone preliminary hearing on 19 August 2020.• Confirmation whether or not he is pursuing his remaining claim for accrued but untaken holiday pay and, if he is, the basis of his claim and how he calculates the amount said to be outstanding.• Confirmation whether or not his e-mail of 8 March is intended to be an application to amend his claim to include a claim of sex discrimination.[2]The claimant was warned that failure to comply with the terms of the order would result in his claim being struck out.[3]He has failed to comply with the terms of this order and his claim is, therefore, struck out.
