Claimant v MAR Facilities Support Services Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The underlying judgment dated 28 March 2025 dismissed the claimant's complaints of being subjected to detriment for making a protected disclosure. The reconsideration application was refused as it represented attempts to re-argue matters already determined or raised points that should be pursued on appeal, with no reasonable prospect of varying the original decision.
Facts
This is a reconsideration judgment concerning an underlying whistleblowing claim that was dismissed on 28 March 2025. The claimant applied for reconsideration on 11 April 2025 with a 15-page document. The claimant has also appealed to the Employment Appeal Tribunal.
Decision
The judge refused the reconsideration application on preliminary consideration under Rule 70(2), finding no reasonable prospect of varying the original decision. The application either raised points already argued at hearing (which should be pursued on appeal) or attempted to reopen findings of fact without new evidence.
Practical note
Reconsideration applications must show more than disagreement with findings; they require new evidence or significant errors, not a second opportunity to argue the same case differently.
