Claimant v The Richmond Fellowship (Scotland) Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
This was an interim relief application under section 128 ERA 1996 relating to whistleblowing. The tribunal refused the application, indicating that the claimant did not demonstrate it was likely that their claim would succeed at full hearing.
Facts
The claimant applied for interim relief under section 128 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 in relation to a whistleblowing claim against The Richmond Fellowship (Scotland) Limited. The hearing took place in Glasgow. Only the judgment is available; no detailed written reasons were provided as oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal refused the interim relief application. This means the claimant did not establish that it was likely they would succeed in showing their dismissal was for making protected disclosures at the full merits hearing.
Practical note
Interim relief applications in whistleblowing cases require a high threshold showing the claim is likely to succeed, which was not met in this case.
