Outcome

Claimant fails

Individual claims

Whistleblowingfailed

The claimant applied for interim relief under section 128 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 in relation to a whistleblowing claim. The tribunal found the application was not well founded and dismissed it, indicating the claimant failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success at the full hearing.

Facts

The claimant brought an application for interim relief under section 128 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 in connection with a whistleblowing dismissal claim. The hearing took place at Bristol Employment Tribunal before Employment Judge Barton on 29 September 2025. The claimant was represented by counsel and the respondent by a solicitor.

Decision

The tribunal dismissed the application for interim relief, finding it was not well founded. This suggests the claimant failed to satisfy the tribunal that there was a likelihood of success in establishing that the principal reason for dismissal was making protected disclosures.

Practical note

Applications for interim relief in whistleblowing cases require a high threshold showing likelihood of success, not merely an arguable case.
