Daniel Jean-Marie received the out-of-court settlement from London Underground at Watford employment tribunal.

Last year his two colleagues at Caledonian Road station, Victor Cooney and Carlo Rozza, were cleared of racial harassment at Middlesex Guildhall crown court.

Lawyers for Mr Jean-Marie, who no longer works for the company, and London Underground reached a settlement before the case was due to start.

Mr Jean-Marie's barrister Nicholas Toms said: "The claim has been resolved on terms going to be kept confidential."

In a statement at last year's trial Mr Cooney said: "One time I gave Daniel a bag of jelly babies and he called me a racist because there were too many black jelly babies in the bag."

When asked by police: "Did you say anything about cutting their heads off? Anything about black jelly babies that could have been misconstrued?" Mr Cooney replied: "No".

He added: "I made no reference to cutting jelly babies' heads off. It's nonsense". After yesterday's agreement a joint statement said: "Mr Jean-Marie and LU have successfully resolved their dispute".
