Case Summary

The claimant claimed unfair dismissal against Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. The claimant was employed for less than two years. The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint as the claimant lacked the required two-year service qualification.

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 failed to provide an acceptable reason why the complaint should not be struck out.
