Mr G Mills v Sprint Refrigeration and Catering Equipment Ltd: 6021728/2025
JUDGMENT
The complaint of unfair dismissal is struck out.REASONS
[1]The sole complaint is of unfair dismissal but Mr Glanville Mills did not have the necessary two years’ service.[2]A letter was sent to him on 17 October 2025 from the Tribunal, notifying him that it was intended to strike out the claim on that basis. He responded on 24 October stating that he felt his dismissal was motivated by discrimination and done to silence criticism. He also drew attention to the proposal in the Employment Rights Bill to remove this qualifying period.[3]However, no claim of discrimination has been brought and if it had that would not affect a complaint of unfair dismissal. The two year rule continues to apply, regardless of the motive for the dismissal and regardless of any proposals to change it in the future. The Tribunal has no discretion to waive this requirement.[4]Accordingly, the claim is struck out.
