Claimant v Matthews Lettings and Services Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant applied for interim relief but failed to satisfy the tribunal that it was likely that the main claim would succeed at a full hearing. The application was dismissed.
Facts
The claimant Mr Ameen was employed by Matthews Lettings and Services Limited and brought an application for interim relief to the tribunal. The application was heard as a preliminary matter before Employment Judge Victoria Butler at Nottingham. The claimant appeared in person while the respondent was represented by Ms N Nicholson, a litigation consultant.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's application for interim relief. The judge must have found that the claimant failed to demonstrate that it was likely that his underlying claim would succeed at a full merits hearing, which is the high threshold required for interim relief to be granted.
Practical note
Interim relief applications require claimants to show a likelihood of success at full hearing, a high threshold that is difficult to meet, particularly for unrepresented claimants.
