Claimant v Principal, Fellows and Scholars of Homerton College in the University of Cambridge
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal refused the application for interim relief after a hearing with oral reasons given. The specific basis for refusal was not recorded in this judgment as only the decision was provided, with reasons given orally.
Facts
Dr C Mackenzie applied for interim relief against Homerton College, Cambridge. The application was heard remotely by CVP at Reading. The claimant appeared in person while the respondent was represented by counsel. Two case numbers were consolidated for this hearing.
Decision
The tribunal refused the application for interim relief. Oral reasons were given at the hearing. The claim will proceed to a case management preliminary hearing in July 2025 to clarify the claims along with other claims.
Practical note
Interim relief applications require a high threshold to succeed, and self-represented claimants face significant challenges in meeting the legal test even when represented respondents oppose the application.
