Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Following a hearing at Manchester on 7 July 2026, Employment Judge Ross rejected Ms Blake’s application for interim relief against Salford City Council. The application related to her claim for unfair (constructive) dismissal under section 103A of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal found the application was not well founded and it failed.

Reasons were given orally at the hearing; the written judgment does not set out the factual findings or reasoning behind the refusal. The judgment, dated 15 July 2026, determines only interim relief and does not decide the underlying dismissal claim. No monetary award is recorded.

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.
