Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing held remotely by video on 29 January 2026, Employment Judge C McManus considered Mr C Stuart's complaint of unfair dismissal against London North Eastern Railway Ltd. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by Ms E Burns, solicitor.
The tribunal held that the unfair dismissal claim was time barred under Employment Rights Act 1996 section 111(2)(b). It also held that it did not have jurisdiction to determine the complaint, and the unfair dismissal complaint was dismissed. The judgment records no monetary remedy and states that reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
