Claimant v London General Transport Services Limited (T/A Go Ahead London)
Outcome
Individual claims
This was a preliminary hearing on jurisdiction only. The tribunal determined that the unfair dismissal complaint was submitted in time and it has jurisdiction to consider the claim on its merits. The substantive merits have not yet been determined.
Facts
Mr Eynanshe brought an unfair dismissal complaint against his former employer, London General Transport Services Limited. The respondent challenged the tribunal's jurisdiction, arguing that the claim was submitted outside the applicable time limit. A preliminary hearing was held by video on 14 October 2025 to determine this jurisdictional issue.
Decision
Employment Judge Corrigan ruled that the unfair dismissal complaint was submitted in time and the tribunal has jurisdiction to consider it. The claim will proceed to a full merits hearing at a future date.
Practical note
Time limit challenges in unfair dismissal claims require careful analysis of when the complaint was submitted and when the dismissal occurred; this case successfully overcame such a jurisdictional challenge.
