Case Summary

The claimant brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Tipping Solutions. The tribunal struck out the complaint because the claimant had been employed for less than two years, which is the minimum qualifying period required by statute. The claimant did not oppose the strike-out.

Why this outcome?

No qualifying employment period

The claimant lacked the required two years of service under Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and therefore had no statutory right to bring an unfair dismissal complaint.
