Case Summary

The claimant's unfair dismissal complaint was struck out because he had less than two years' service with the respondent, failing to meet the statutory requirement under Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant's separate complaint of unlawful deductions from wages was permitted to proceed to final hearing.

Why this outcome?

No qualifying employment period

The claimant was employed for less than two years and therefore did not satisfy the minimum service requirement under Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, making him ineligible to bring an unfair dismissal claim.
