Case Summary

The claimant's unfair dismissal claim was struck out after he failed to respond to a tribunal letter dated 15 December 2025 giving him an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on whether he met the two-year continuous employment requirement. The tribunal found the claim had no reasonable prospects of success.

The claim was struck out because the claimant appeared to lack the two years' continuous employment required to bring an unfair dismissal claim, and he failed to make representations in writing or request a hearing to address this deficiency.

It therefore appears to me that the claim has no reasonable prospects of success.
