Claimant v Altruistic Care Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal refused the claimant's application for interim relief, meaning the claimant did not satisfy the tribunal that it is likely they would succeed at a full hearing in establishing the automatically unfair dismissal claim.
Facts
Mr Murphy brought claims against Altruistic Care Ltd and four individual respondents. He applied for interim relief, which is a remedy available in certain automatically unfair dismissal cases such as whistleblowing dismissals. The hearing was held on 3 May 2024 before Employment Judge Slater. The claimant was represented by a lay representative, Mr A Hawas, while the respondents were represented by Mr D Bunting, counsel.
Decision
Employment Judge Slater refused the application for interim relief. This indicates the tribunal was not satisfied that the claimant was likely to succeed at a full hearing in establishing the claim for automatically unfair dismissal. A preliminary hearing for case management was scheduled for 10 July 2024.
Practical note
An interim relief application requires the claimant to demonstrate a likelihood of success on a claim for automatically unfair dismissal, which this claimant failed to establish.
