Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 8 May 2019 in London Central, Employment Judge Palca amended the respondent's name to London Underground Limited. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's unfair dismissal claim because it did not have jurisdiction to hear it. The reason given was that the claimant had not been continuously employed by the respondent for two years preceding his dismissal, so the qualifying period was not met.
The judgment records that the claimant's breach of contract claim continues. It also states that no deposit order would be made. The judgment does not record any monetary award or any further merits findings.

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.
