Claimant v LKQ Group (UK) Limited

16 January 2025Before Employment Judge Gumbiti-ZimutoMidlands Weston papers

Outcome

Claimant fails

Facts

This is a reconsideration application by the claimant following a final hearing judgment dated 28 January 2025 which dismissed his claim as not well founded. The claimant made various arguments about his understanding of the hearing purpose, disputed the tribunal's assessment of evidence, and raised issues about the preliminary hearing and tribunal processes.

Decision

The tribunal refused the reconsideration application on the basis that there was no reasonable prospect of the original dismissal decision being varied or revoked. The judge found that the claimant's points were largely argumentative, related to matters already decided, or did not demonstrate any error by the tribunal that would warrant reconsideration.

Practical note

A reconsideration application must identify clear errors or new matters with reasonable prospects of changing the outcome; merely disagreeing with the tribunal's findings or rehashing arguments is insufficient grounds for reconsideration.
