Facts
P Duffy brought claims of unfair dismissal and discrimination against London North Eastern Railway Limited. The case was heard over five days in August 2025 before a full tribunal panel. Reasons for the tribunal's decision were given orally at the hearing. No written reasons are included in this summary judgment.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed both the unfair dismissal claim and the discrimination claim, finding neither complaint to be well founded. The tribunal concluded after hearing five days of evidence and submissions that the claimant's case failed on both grounds.
Practical note
This judgment provides no substantive reasoning as only oral reasons were given, limiting its precedential value without a request for written reasons.
