Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant applied for interim relief in a claim arising from his dismissal. The respondent did not attend and was not represented at the hearing.
The tribunal found that the claimant was likely to succeed in his claim that the principal reason for dismissal was that he made one or more protected disclosures. The interim relief application succeeded and the tribunal ordered continuation of the claimant's contract of employment from 8 May 2025 until determination or settlement of the claim.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant GBP 667.45 per week under section 130(2) Employment Rights Act 1996 for that period, except that no payment was due up to 16 May 2025 because the claimant had been paid in lieu of notice for that period.

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.
