Case Summary

The claimant brought claims for unfair dismissal and unlawful deductions from wages. The unfair dismissal claim was struck out on the grounds that the claimant lacked the required two years' service and failed to show cause why the claim had any prospects of success. The unlawful deductions claim was dismissed following the claimant's non-attendance at the hearing.

Why this outcome?

No qualifying employment period

The unfair dismissal claim was struck out because the claimant did not have the required two years' service and failed to respond to a show cause letter regarding prospects of success. The unlawful deductions claim was dismissed because the claimant failed to attend the hearing and had previously failed to provide details of the sums he claimed were owing despite two letters requesting this information.

Case No: 1806489/2025 EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant Respondent v Rasid Munciuleanu Babtooma Leeds Limited Heard: in public by CVP in Leeds On: 11 May 2026 Before: Employment Judge JM Wade Appearances: For the Claimant: No attendance For the Respondent: No attendance JUDGMENT 1 The claimant’s unfair dismissal claim is struck out, the claimant having failed to show cause why that claim had any prospects of success. 2 The claimant’s unlawful deductions from wages claim is dismissed, the claimant having failed to attend today. REASONS 1 The link for today’s hearing was sent to the claimant on Friday. The respondent had not presented a response. The claimant had presented two in time complaints: unfair dismissal and unlawful deductions from wages. The claimant was sent two letters in March and April of this year asking him to set out the sums he said were owing. He did not reply. The claimant did not have the required two years’ service and a show cause letter was sent to him in April, again there was no reply to that letter. 2 Today on his non attendance our clerk telephoned and was unable to reach the claimant to ask why he had not attended. 3 In all the circumstances above it appears he has abandoned his deductions from wages complaint and it is in the interests of justice to dismiss both claims as Case No: 1806489/2025 above.
