Outcome
Facts
This is a reconsideration application made by Miss Shaheen on 1 June 2025 following a full merits hearing held between 7-11 April 2025 against her former employer, a solicitors firm. The claimant argued that evidence presented at the hearing should have been interpreted differently. The tribunal refused the application.
Decision
Employment Judge Singh refused the reconsideration application under Rule 72(1), finding no reasonable prospect of the original judgment being varied or revoked. The judge held that the claimant was a disappointed litigant seeking to re-argue her case, that no new information was presented, and that reconsideration is not an opportunity to relitigate matters already fully ventilated.
Practical note
Reconsideration applications must demonstrate more than disagreement with the tribunal's interpretation of evidence; they are not an opportunity for a second bite at the cherry or to rehear arguments already made.
