Mr Lachiri v Chief Constable of North Wales Police Dated: 22nd February 2021 — 2021

Following a hearing on 4 January 2021, the tribunal gave an oral judgment allowing some parts of the claimant's amendment application and dismissing others. It also concluded that six of the claimant's allegations should be made subject to a deposit order, with a total sum of £60. The claimant applied on 16 February 2021 for reconsideration of that deposit order, and Employment Judge R F Powell refused the application on 22 February 2021.

The judge held that the reconsideration application largely repeated the claimant's earlier account or expanded points that had not been made at the hearing. No error of law or failure to take account of a material consideration was identified in the original reasons, and the additional assertions had not been articulated at the 4 January 2021 hearing despite the claimant having had a lengthy opportunity to present his case. The judge also noted the public interest in the finality of litigation, referred to Redding v EMI Leisure Ltd, and concluded that there was no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked.
