London Underground Ltd employment tribunal cases

Constructive unfair dismissal, direct race discrimination, direct age discrimination

Heard at Watford

The Tribunal did not have jurisdiction because all claims were brought out of time and there were no grounds to extend the time limits.

Unfair Dismissal and Discrimination

Heard at Watford

The claim was dismissed because the claimant failed to attend the hearing and did not press his claim, leading the judge to conclude it was in the interests of justice to dismiss under rule 47.

Direct race discrimination

The Tribunal found no evidence that the decision‑maker knew the claimant’s race or that race influenced the back‑pay decision, so direct race discrimination was not established.

Unauthorised deductions from wages

Heard at London South

The tribunal found the claim of unauthorised deductions from wages was not well‑founded and dismissed it.

Unfair Dismissal

Heard at Reading

The Tribunal found that London Underground had not demonstrated a fair reason or a proportionate procedure for dismissing Albu, and therefore his claim of unfair dismissal succeeded.
