Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningFollowing an interim relief hearing on 18 March 2026, Employment Judge Cookson found that the claimant is likely to succeed at the final hearing in his claim that the principal reason for his dismissal was that he made one or more protected disclosures. The application for interim relief therefore succeeded.
Because section 129(9) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 applied, the Tribunal made an order for the continuation of the claimant's contract of employment under section 130 ERA 1996. The contract is to continue in force with the respondent from 22 January 2026 until the determination or settlement of the claim.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £3,877.50 per calendar month under section 130(2) ERA 1996 for that period, save that no payment is due for the period up to 31 January 2026 as the claimant had been paid until that date. A payment for the past period under s.130(b) is to be made within 21 days of the judgment. The judgment is an interim relief order; final liability and remedy were not determined at this hearing.

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.
