Hodan Ibrahim v Hand in Hand Children Ltd RECONSIDERATION — 2025

The tribunal considered the claimant's reconsideration application and refused it under rule 70(2) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The judge referred back to the original judgment, which had treated the claimant's case as an ordinary unfair dismissal claim under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and had concluded that the tribunal had no power to deal with it because the claimant had less than two years' service.

The claimant later suggested that he had raised protected disclosure, discrimination and victimisation allegations, but the judge found that those matters had not been pleaded or raised before the original judgment was approved. The judgment also states that any such allegations would not affect the position on the unfair dismissal claim. The reconsideration application was therefore refused and the original decision stood.
