Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal heard the claimant's application for interim relief on 26 February 2021 before Employment Judge Reid. It considered whether, on the material before it, it appeared likely that when the unfair dismissal claim was determined the Tribunal would find that the claimant had been unfairly dismissed on grounds related to trade union membership or activities within s152 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.
It held that it did not appear likely that the eventual unfair dismissal hearing would reach that conclusion. The judgment says the claimant's case did not identify clearly what trade union activities were said to have led to dismissal or how the dismissal was linked to those activities. The application for interim relief under s161 TULRCA 1992 was therefore dismissed. No monetary award was made, and the judgment did not determine the merits of the underlying unfair dismissal claim.

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.
