Claimant v Peninsula Business Services
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant applied for interim relief, which is typically sought in whistleblowing or trade union dismissal cases. The tribunal refused the application, indicating that the claimant did not establish a prima facie case that the principal reason for dismissal was the protected disclosure or trade union activity.
Facts
Mr Munro brought an application for interim relief against Peninsula Business Services. The hearing was conducted remotely by CVP. Mr Munro represented himself while the respondent was represented by counsel, Mr C Crow. The tribunal heard the application on 24 September 2025 before Employment Judge Anstis.
Decision
Employment Judge Anstis refused the claimant's application for interim relief and ordered the claimant to pay costs of £1,000 to the respondent. The tribunal gave oral reasons at the hearing, with written reasons only to be provided if requested within 14 days.
Practical note
Unrepresented claimants face significant risks when pursuing interim relief applications, including potential adverse costs orders even at the preliminary stage.
