JUDGMENT
The complaint of unfair dismissal 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.[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 Slater Date: 27 September 2024[1]By a letter dated 20 January 2025, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out because:• The claimant had not complied with the Tribunal’s order of 11 November 2024 and the claim 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 claim is therefore struck out. Approved by:
