D Christofi v Hotel Gotham Newcastle: 6000599/2026
JUDGMENT
The complaint of Unfair Dismissal is struck out.REASONS
[1]The Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 13 May 2026 warning them that the Tribunal was considering striking out part of the claim. This was because it appeared to the Tribunal, applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, that, in relation to that part, the claim had no reasonable prospect of success;[2]The letter gave the claimant an opportunity to explain why that part of the claim should not be struck out, or to request a hearing at which to do so. The claimant has not replied.[3]I am satisfied that the grounds for striking out that part of the claim under Rule 38 apply, and that it would be in accordance with the overriding objective in Rule 3 to strike out that part of the claim. This is because it appears that you were employed for less than two years and on the face of it do not qualify for the right to bring a complaint of unfair dismissal as your case does not fall under any of the exceptions.[4]That part of the claim is therefore struck out. The rest of the claim is not affected by this judgment. Approved by: JM Wade
