Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Birmingham on 12 and 13 February 2020, Employment Judge V. Jones found that Mr R. Lennon was fairly dismissed by West Coast Trains Limited t/a Virgin Trains, so his unfair dismissal claim failed. The tribunal also dismissed the respondent’s application for costs under rules 76 and 78(1)(a) of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the written record states that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
