Mr W J Hope v Airplus Renewables Ltd: 2602691/2023
JUDGMENT
The claim is struck out.REASONS
[1]The claimant presented a single complaint of unfair dismissal.[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, unless one of the exceptions to the requirement for qualifying service applies.[3]The claimant’s claim does not show he was employed by the respondent for two years or more. The tribunal wrote to the claimant on 4 January 2024 with a warning that the claim would be struck out for lack of jurisdiction unless the claimant made written representations as to why that should not happen.[4]The Claimant has not responded. The claimant has therefore failed to give an acceptable reason why the complaint can proceed.[5]Accordingly, the claim of unfair dismissal is struck out. As that was the only claim presented, the claim is at an end.
