Case Summary

The claimant's unfair dismissal complaint was struck out because she had been employed for less than two years. Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a minimum of two years' service to bring an unfair dismissal claim, which the claimant did not meet.

Why this outcome?

No qualifying employment period

The claimant was employed 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. The claimant therefore lacked the qualifying period of service and was not entitled to bring such a complaint.
