Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing in which Mrs P Barnes applied for interim relief under section 128 ERA 1996 against Avanti Schools Trust. The hearing was by Cloud Video Platform on 3 June 2020 before Employment Judge Midgley.
The tribunal dismissed the application. It held that the claimant's case that the sole or principal reason for her dismissal was protected disclosures was not, on a summary assessment of the papers before the Employment Judge, likely to succeed.
No monetary award was made and the judgment records only the dismissal of the interim relief application.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
