Case Summary

The Tribunal struck out the claimant's complaints of unfair dismissal, automatically unfair dismissal (protected disclosure), and protected disclosure detriment. The unfair dismissal claim was struck out because the claimant lacked sufficient qualifying service, and the protected disclosure complaints were struck out as having no reasonable prospect of success with no discernible basis in the claim form. The direct race discrimination complaint continues.

Why this outcome?

No qualifying employment period

The unfair dismissal claim was struck out because the claimant did not have sufficient service to bring such a complaint. The protected disclosure complaints were struck out under Rule 38 because there was no reasonable prospect of success and no discernible basis in the claim form.
