Claimant v London Transit Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal dismissed the breach of contract claim relating to notice pay. The parties agreed that all outstanding notice payments had been made, meaning there was no outstanding contractual breach regarding notice.
The tribunal found the complaint of unfair dismissal was not well-founded. The tribunal determined that the claimant was not unfairly dismissed, meaning the respondent established a fair reason for dismissal and acted reasonably in treating it as sufficient reason.
Facts
Mr Mills brought claims for breach of contract regarding notice pay and unfair dismissal against his former employer London Transit Limited. The hearing took place remotely over two days in February 2025. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by a solicitor.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed both claims. The breach of contract claim failed because the parties agreed all outstanding notice payments had been made. The unfair dismissal claim was not well-founded, with the tribunal determining the claimant was not unfairly dismissed.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant lost both breach of contract and unfair dismissal claims where notice had been paid and the dismissal was found to be fair.
