Claimant v British Airways plc
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard evidence over three days and delivered an oral judgment finding the dismissal was unfair. Written reasons were not immediately provided but are available on request. The claim succeeded following a full merits hearing.
Facts
Mr Dalkiran was employed by British Airways Plc and was dismissed. The claimant brought a claim for unfair dismissal. A three-day full merits hearing took place at Watford Employment Tribunal in October 2025. The tribunal heard oral evidence and submissions from both parties who were represented by counsel and a solicitor respectively.
Decision
Employment Judge Cowen found that the claimant's dismissal was unfair. The judgment was delivered orally at the conclusion of the three-day hearing. The claim for unfair dismissal succeeded. A remedy hearing or further determination of compensation appears not to have been addressed in this liability judgment.
Practical note
This is a liability-only judgment where the tribunal found British Airways unfairly dismissed the claimant, with remedy presumably to be determined at a subsequent hearing.
