JUDGMENT

On reading the documents on the digital file, the Tribunal determines that the claim is struck out under the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2024, rule 38(1)(a) on the ground that it has no reasonable prospect of success.

REASONS

[1]By a claim form presented on 18 September 2024, the Claimant brought a complaint of unfair dismissal in which he stated that he had been continuously employed by the Respondent from 19 November 2022 until 11 June 2024. The Respondent resisted the claim on the ground that the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to consider it, the Claimant having been employed for less than the minimum period of two years required to qualify for the right not to be unfairly dismissed (Employment Rights Act 1996, ss 94 and 108(1).[2]By letter dated 11 August 2025 the Tribunal gave notice to the Claimant that I was considering striking the claim out on the ground that it had no reasonable prospect of success, being bound to fail on jurisdictional grounds. The Claimant has failed to provide any tenable ground for opposing the strike-out.[3]In the circumstances, it is just and in accordance with the overriding objective to strike the claim out.
