Claimant v TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The application for interim relief was dismissed because it was not presented within the statutory time limit under section 128(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, depriving the tribunal of jurisdiction to hear it.
Facts
Mr Jaffrey made an application for interim relief against TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited. He represented himself while the respondent was represented by counsel. The application was heard remotely by video on 4 November 2025.
Decision
The tribunal found it had no jurisdiction to hear the application because it was not presented within the statutory time limit prescribed by section 128(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The application was therefore dismissed.
Practical note
Applications for interim relief must strictly comply with the time limits in section 128(2) ERA 1996 - late applications will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction regardless of merit.
