Claimant v Kenneth Mackenzie Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant applied for interim relief, which is only available for certain automatic unfair dismissal claims such as whistleblowing or trade union activities. The tribunal refused the application after oral reasons, finding the claimant did not meet the statutory requirements for interim relief to be granted.
Facts
Mr A Millar brought an application for interim relief against his former employer Kenneth Mackenzie Ltd. The claimant appeared in person while the respondent was represented by solicitor Ms Coutts. The hearing took place in Glasgow on 27 August 2025 before Employment Judge R Mackay.
Decision
The Employment Judge refused the claimant's application for interim relief after hearing oral submissions. The judge gave oral reasons at the conclusion of the hearing but these were not included in the written judgment record.
Practical note
Interim relief applications require strict statutory criteria to be met and are difficult to obtain, particularly for unrepresented claimants who may not fully understand the high threshold required.
