Claimant v University of Manchester
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant's application for interim relief pursuant to Section 128(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 did not satisfy the requirements. The application failed on its merits and was dismissed.
Facts
Dr Abdelaal, employed by the University of Manchester, applied for interim relief under Section 128(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The application was heard at Manchester on 12 September 2025. Both parties were represented by counsel. Oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the application for interim relief. The claimant failed to satisfy the requirements under Section 128(1) ERA 1996 for the grant of interim relief.
Practical note
Interim relief applications under Section 128(1) ERA 1996 require the claimant to demonstrate a pretty good chance of success at full hearing; this application did not meet that threshold.
