Claimant v The College of Matrons
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal granted interim relief under Section 129 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, indicating that the claimant's application was well founded and that she has established a reasonable likelihood of success at a full hearing. The tribunal ordered continuation of the claimant's contract and payment of salary pending the final determination or settlement of the claim.
Facts
Miss Roberts was employed by The College of Matrons from 2 May 2024 and her employment was terminated on 19 March 2025. She brought an application for interim relief claiming automatic unfair dismissal. Her contract included a provision for accommodation at Clause 4.2. The claimant was unrepresented and appeared in person, while the respondent was represented by a litigation consultant.
Decision
Employment Judge Midgley granted the claimant's application for interim relief, finding it well founded. The tribunal made a continuation of contract order from the date of termination until final determination or settlement of the unfair dismissal claim, including provision of accommodation and ordering monthly salary payments of £1296.96 net.
Practical note
The tribunal found sufficient merit in the claimant's automatic unfair dismissal claim to grant interim relief, ordering continuation of contract including accommodation provision and ongoing salary payments pending the full hearing.
