Mr Z Nawaz v E.ON UK plc: 1307872/2022
JUDGMENT
Upon the claimant’s application for interim relief The judgment of the tribunal is that: the claimant’s applications for interim relief pursuant to section 128 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA) and section 161 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (TULR(C)A) are not well-founded, fail and are dismissed. It did not appear to me that it is likely upon determining the complaints to which the applications relate the tribunal will find that the claimant has been unfairly dismissed for asserting the qualifying reasons relating to whistleblowing under section 103A ERA and/or relating to trade union activities under section 152 TULR(C)A. Upon the respondent’s application for costs The judgment of the tribunal is that: I consider that:(1) the claimant acted unreasonably in conducting these proceedings by applying for an interim Case Number: 1307872/2022 relief order; and(2) and the applications for interim relief had no reasonable prospect of success. Furthermore, I consider it to be just, fair, and proportionate to make an order for costs; and I order the claimant to pay to the respondent costs assessed in the sum of £2,500.00. A Closed Preliminary Hearing by telephone will take place at 10am on 24 October 2022 when appropriate orders will be made for the just disposal of the case and the dates for any hearings will be fixed.
