Claimant v Makor Securities London Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant applied for interim relief under section 128 Employment Rights Act 1996, which is typically in whistleblowing or protected disclosure cases. The tribunal refused the application after oral reasons were given at the hearing, indicating the tribunal was not satisfied that the claim had a likely prospect of success at full hearing.
Facts
Mrs A Shah brought a claim against her former employer, Makor Securities London Limited, a financial services company. She applied for interim relief under section 128 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, which suggests the underlying claim involves either whistleblowing or automatic unfair dismissal for making protected disclosures. The judgment provides minimal factual detail.
Decision
Employment Judge Henderson refused the claimant's application for interim relief after a hearing on 7 May 2025. Oral reasons were provided at the end of the hearing but are not included in this written judgment, indicating the tribunal was not satisfied the claim had sufficient prospect of success to warrant the interim remedy.
Practical note
Interim relief applications under section 128 ERA 1996 require a high threshold of likely success, and this case demonstrates that tribunals will refuse such applications where that threshold is not met, even though the full merits of the underlying claim remain to be determined.
