Claimant v Les Croupiers Casino Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
This was an application for interim relief which is sought where a claimant alleges dismissal for whistleblowing or trade union activities and seeks their job back or continuation of pay pending full hearing. The tribunal refused the application, meaning the claimant did not demonstrate a pretty good chance of success at full hearing.
Facts
Mr Williams brought a claim against Les Croupiers Casino Limited and applied for interim relief. This is a preliminary application typically made where a claimant alleges dismissal for whistleblowing or trade union activities and seeks continuation of employment or pay pending a full hearing. The hearing took place remotely via video link with the claimant representing himself and the respondent represented by counsel.
Decision
Employment Judge R Evans refused the claimant's application for interim relief. This means the tribunal was not satisfied that the claimant had demonstrated a pretty good chance of succeeding at a full merits hearing on his underlying claim.
Practical note
Interim relief applications have a high threshold requiring claimants to show a pretty good likelihood of success, which this unrepresented claimant failed to demonstrate despite having counsel opposition.
