Case Summary

The claimant complained of unfair dismissal but had been employed for less than two years. The tribunal struck out the complaint as the claimant lacked the statutory qualifying period of two years required by section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

Why this outcome?

No qualifying employment period

The claimant was employed by the respondent for less than two years, and section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a minimum of two years service to bring an unfair dismissal complaint. Therefore, the claimant was not entitled to bring such a complaint.
