H Haider v PricewaterhouseCoopers — 2025

The tribunal dealt only with an unfair dismissal complaint brought by H Haider against PricewaterhouseCoopers. In a letter dated 7 November 2024, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, or to request a hearing, because section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 generally prevents an unfair dismissal complaint unless the claimant has two years' service or falls within an exception. The reasons record that the claimant's claim form appeared to show less than two years' employment and that no exception seemed to apply.

The claimant did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. The tribunal therefore struck out the claim. No compensation or other monetary remedy was awarded, and the judgment contains no separate findings on liability beyond the statutory eligibility issue.
