Claimant v Northern Marine Group Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal refused the claimant's application for interim relief, meaning the tribunal was not satisfied that the claimant's claim was likely to succeed at full hearing.
Facts
Ms Watson applied for interim relief following her dismissal from Northern Marine Group Limited. This is an urgent application typically made in whistleblowing or protected disclosure cases, or cases involving dismissal for trade union activities, where the claimant seeks to be reinstated or re-engaged pending the full hearing. The application was heard remotely via video platform.
Decision
The tribunal refused the claimant's application for interim relief. To succeed in such an application, the claimant must show that their claim is likely to succeed at full hearing, which is a high threshold. The tribunal was not satisfied that this test was met.
Practical note
Interim relief applications require claimants to demonstrate a likelihood of success at full hearing, a threshold that is difficult to meet at an early stage without full evidence.
