[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 has failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out.[6]Accordingly, the complaint of unfair dismissal is struck out. The claimant’s other complaints are not affected by this judgment. _____________________________ Employment Judge Ayre Date: 13 June 2022[1]By a letter dated 11 October 2022 the Tribunal gave the respondent an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing, as to why the claim or response should not be struck out because:• the manner in which the proceedings have been conducted has been unreasonable; and/or• it has not been actively pursued.[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 response is therefore struck out.[3]The hearing fixed for 19-21 February 2024 will not take place.
