Facts
Ms Andersen brought an application for interim relief against her employer, Unum European Holding Company Ltd, a financial services company. She appeared unrepresented while the respondent was represented by counsel. The hearing took place remotely via CVP.
Decision
The tribunal refused the application for interim relief. The judge gave oral reasons at the hearing but these were not recorded in the written judgment. The claimant did not succeed in demonstrating the statutory requirements for interim relief.
Practical note
Interim relief applications have a high threshold and require strong prima facie evidence of protected disclosure or trade union dismissal to succeed, particularly when the claimant is unrepresented against legally represented respondents.
