Mr E Nkanta v St Mary Magdalene Church of England School: 6026586/2025
JUDGMENT
The claim of unfair dismissal is struck out because it has no reasonable prospects of success.REASONS
[1]Mr Nkanta had less than two years’ employment at the time of his dismissal.[2]The Tribunal wrote to him on 25 July 2025 to explain that under section 108 Employment Rights Act 1996 it is necessary to be employed for two years or more to bring a complaint of unfair dismissal. He was given until 8 August 2025 to respond with any reasons as to why that complaint should not be struck out. He made no response.[3]In the circumstances, the Tribunal does not appear to have any jurisdiction to consider the claim and it is struck out as having no reasonable prospects of success.[4]The claim form also refers to a breach of contract. A hearing will be arranged for that remaining claim. In the meantime, and within two weeks of this Order, Mr Nkanta should write to the Tribunal, and the respondent, providing full details of this alleged breach.
