Claimant v Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

20 January 2025Before Employment Judge Grayon papers

Outcome

Claimant fails

Facts

This is a reconsideration judgment. The claimant applied for reconsideration of an oral judgment dated 20 January 2025, submitting identical applications on 21 January 2025 at 00:44 and 09:44. The claimant was self-represented and brought her claim against an NHS Foundation Trust.

Decision

Employment Judge Gray refused the reconsideration application on the basis that there was no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked. The tribunal found that all points raised by the claimant in her application had been raised or could have been raised at the original hearing, and that she was simply expressing disagreement with the decision.

Practical note

A reconsideration application will be refused at the initial sift stage if it merely expresses disagreement with the tribunal's decision without raising grounds that have reasonable prospects of varying or revoking the original judgment.
