Individual claims
The claimant applied for interim relief, which is a protective remedy available in whistleblowing or trade union cases to preserve employment pending full hearing. The tribunal dismissed the application, finding it did not meet the high legal threshold required for such relief.

Decision
Employment Judge M Warren dismissed the interim relief application. Oral reasons were given at the hearing. The judgment indicates the claimant failed to meet the stringent legal test required for interim relief to be granted.
