Outcome
Facts
The claimant applied for an anonymity order and restricted reporting order on 25 March 2025. Following a hearing on 11 June 2025, the tribunal refused the application in a case management order sent to parties on 30 June 2025. The claimant then applied on 3 July 2025 for reconsideration of the decision refusing anonymity.
Decision
The tribunal refused the reconsideration application because decisions on anonymity applications are case management orders, not judgments, and therefore cannot be reconsidered under Rules 68-71 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The tribunal relied on AEL v Flight Centre (UK) Ltd [2024] EAT 116.
Practical note
Applications for anonymity orders under Rule 49 are not judgments capable of reconsideration under the tribunal's general reconsideration powers in Rules 68-71.
