JUDGMENT

The complaint that the claimant was unfairly dismissed is struck out.

REASONS

[1]The claimant complains 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.

[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. The claimant’s email of 20 December 2025 suggests that he did not in fact intend to bring a complaint of unfair dismissal; rather that his intention was to bring a complaint of disability discrimination.

[6]Accordingly, the complaint of unfair dismissal is struck out. The claimant’s other complaints (of disability discrimination under the Equality Act 2010) are not affected by this judgment. Approved by
