Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr A Letham brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against Xpo Logistics Ltd c/o Wm Morrison Ltd. The respondent was sent the claim form on 19 July 2018 but did not lodge a response within the required time. On that basis, Employment Judge Robert Gall proceeded under Rule 21 and determined liability on the available material without a hearing.
The tribunal held that the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal succeeded. The judgment does not set out substantive findings on the facts of dismissal, because the decision was made in default on the basis of the respondent's non-response. The question of remedy was not decided at this stage.
The tribunal stated that the remedy to which the claimant is entitled would be determined at a later hearing before an Employment Judge.

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.
