Claimant v Draughts Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
This was an interim relief application under Section 161(1) TULR(CA) 1992. The tribunal found it had jurisdiction to hear the application as it was made within seven days of termination, but refused to grant interim relief. The substantive claim has not yet been determined.
Facts
Mr Nur was dismissed from his employment with one or more companies in the Draughts group. He brought a claim alleging automatic unfair dismissal related to trade union activities under TULR(CA) 1992 and applied for interim relief within the statutory seven-day time limit.
Decision
The tribunal confirmed it had jurisdiction to consider the interim relief application as it was made in time, but refused to grant interim relief. No reasons are recorded in this judgment as they were given orally at the hearing.
Practical note
Interim relief applications must be made within seven days of termination and tribunals have discretion to refuse them even when jurisdiction is established.
