lost

The claimant's application for interim relief failed because she did not demonstrate a pretty good chance of success on her whistleblowing claim, as the alleged disclosures lacked sufficient factual content and specificity.

Legal Issues (1)
  • Interim relief application under section 128 ERA; the test is whether it is likely (a pretty good chance) that the claimant will succeed at final hearing; the need for a protected disclosure to have sufficient factual content and specificity; causation between disclosure and dismissal.

jurisdiction_dismissal

The claimant's claim was dismissed for want of jurisdiction because the remedy sought (a declaration) was not 'the recovery of damages or any other sum' as required by Article 3 of the Extension of Jurisdiction Order.

Legal Issues (1)
  • Whether the claimant's claim for a declaratory remedy fell within the Employment Tribunal's contractual jurisdiction under Article 3 of the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (Scotland) Order 1994; whether the Tribunal retained jurisdiction over the respondent's counterclaim under Article 4; and whether the claimant was contractually liable for the early termination fee.

6012249/202426 May 2026
lost

The tribunal found that the claimant's protected disclosures were not the principal reason for dismissal; genuine concerns about the claimant's work and conduct were the effective cause.

Legal Issues (1)
  • Interim relief for automatic unfair dismissal (s.129 ERA 1996); protected disclosure definition (s.43B ERA); 'pretty good chance' test; causation and principal reason for dismissal; detriment for protected disclosures.
