each Case Number: 6047376/2025 EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant: MICHAEL OLAJIDE OGUNBAYO Respondent: LLEWELYN SUPPORT SERVICES LTD JUDGMENT The complaint that the claimant was unfairly dismissed and the claim for a redundancy payment are struck out. REASONS 1. The Claimant complains of unfair dismissal and claims the right to a redundancy payment. 2. Section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a Claimant to have not less than two years service to make an unfair dismissal complaint. 3. Section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 says that employees do not have the right to a redundancy payment unless they have been employed for two years or more. 4. The Claimant was employed by the Respondent for less than two years. 5. Therefore the Claimant is not entitled to bring a complaint of unfair dismissal or to claim a redundancy payment. 6. The Claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaints should not be struck out. 7. Accordingly, the complaint of unfair dismissal and the claim for a redundancy payment are struck out. The Claimant’s other complaints are not affected by this judgment.
