Claimant v Astrea Academy Trust
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard the claimant's application for interim relief presented shortly after her claim was filed. The tribunal did not find that it was likely that the claimant would succeed at a full hearing in establishing the necessary elements for interim relief. The application was dismissed.
Facts
Ms Talbot brought a claim against Astrea Academy Trust on 22 July 2025 and applied for interim relief. The application was heard by video on 11 August 2025. The claimant was represented by a lay representative while the respondent was represented by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's application for interim relief. The tribunal found that the claimant did not satisfy the statutory test that she was likely to succeed at a full hearing in establishing the grounds necessary for interim relief.
Practical note
Interim relief applications require a claimant to demonstrate a likelihood of success at full hearing, a high threshold that was not met in this case.
