Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Ali's unfair dismissal claim was struck out as having no reasonable prospect of success. The parties agreed that his employment with United Airlines, Inc began on 20 February 2023 and ended on 31 January 2025. Employment Judge Bartlett found that Mr Ali had less than two years' service and struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(a) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.
The notice pay claim, characterised by the tribunal as wrongful dismissal and/or unlawful deduction from wages, was also struck out under rule 38(1)(a). Mr Ali confirmed that he had received one month's pay in lieu of notice and was not bringing a notice pay claim. He referred to an unpaid bonus, but the tribunal recorded that this was not part of his claim and that an application to amend would be required if he intended to pursue it. No monetary award was made.

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.
