Claimant v Source Information Services Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant's application for interim relief under section 128 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was dismissed. The tribunal found that the application was not well founded, meaning the claimant did not establish that their claim appeared likely to succeed at the full hearing stage.
Facts
Mr Achal Inamdar brought an application for interim relief under section 128 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 against his former employer, Source Information Services Limited. The hearing was conducted remotely by CVP on 15 July 2025. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by Mr T. Hadden, a solicitor.
Decision
Employment Judge Adkin dismissed the claimant's application for interim relief, finding that it was not well founded. This means the tribunal was not satisfied that the claimant's underlying claim appeared likely to succeed at a full hearing, which is the threshold test for granting interim relief.
Practical note
Applications for interim relief require claimants to demonstrate a pretty good chance of success at the full hearing, and self-represented claimants face significant challenges in meeting this high threshold at an early stage without full evidence being heard.
