Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Sudra at London South on 26 September 2025 made a Costs Order under rule 74(2)(a) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 against the claimant Mr C S Goh in favour of Asda Stores Limited.
The order followed the refusal of the claimant's Interim Relief application under section 128 Employment Rights Act 1996, made the same day. The Tribunal found unreasonable conduct in the claimant's pursuit of an Interim Relief application that had no reasonable prospects of success (he had not identified any alleged protected disclosures or detail of who, how, when or what was disclosed) and his failure to respond to the respondent's costs warning letter of 17 September 2025.
Applying Yerrakalva v Barnsley MBC [2012] ICR 420 and taking the claimant's means into account, the Tribunal awarded the respondent £4,992 (a portion of the £15,102 sought) representing costs incurred after 19 September 2025. The substantive (unfair dismissal/whistleblowing) claim itself was not adjudicated in this judgment.

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.
