Claimant v Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's application for interim relief. Interim relief applications require the claimant to demonstrate a likelihood of success on claims for automatic unfair dismissal (typically whistleblowing or protected disclosure). The tribunal was not satisfied that the application met the necessary threshold for granting interim relief.
Facts
Mrs Taylor applied for interim relief against Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. The hearing took place remotely by CVP. Mrs Taylor appeared in person while the Trust was represented by counsel. The judgment does not contain detailed reasons as these were given orally at the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's application for interim relief. No written reasons were provided as they had been given orally at the hearing, though either party could request written reasons within 14 days.
Practical note
Interim relief applications in NHS employment cases require a strong prima facie case of automatic unfair dismissal, typically involving whistleblowing or protected disclosure claims, and failure to meet this threshold will result in dismissal of the application.
