Carers Trust Crossroads West Wales

Case Summary

Ms Constable applied for interim relief in a protected disclosure dismissal claim against Carers Trust Crossroads West Wales. The tribunal refused the interim relief application as it was not likely that the claimant would succeed in establishing that the dismissal was due to a protected disclosure. The protected disclosure dismissal claim will proceed to a full hearing as normal; other claims were rejected due to failure to undertake ACAS early conciliation.

The tribunal found on a summary, predictive assessment that the claimant did not have a pretty good chance of establishing that the reason or principal reason for dismissal was a protected disclosure.

Case No. 1603967/2025 v3 10.2.25 1 EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant: Ms J Constable Respondent: Carers Trust Crossroads West Wales Heard at: Cardiff; by video On: 24 March 2026 Before: Employment Judge R Harfield REPRESENTATION: Claimant: Ms Constable represented herself Respondent: Ms Nicholls (Counsel) JUDGMENT The decision of the Tribunal is: 1. It is not likely that on determining the complaint at the final hearing the tribunal will find that the reason or principal reason for dismissal is that the Claimant made a protected disclosure or disclosures. The application for interim relief is therefore refused. 2. As I explained to the Claimant, I have made no findings at all about the substance of her case. The interim relief application decision is made on the basis of a summary, predictive assessment on the limited information available at that time, looking at whether the Claimant has a pretty good chance of establishing this complaint at the final hearing. Her protected disclosure dismissal claim can and will still proceed as normal through the employment tribunal system, unaffected by the interim relief decision I made, with the next step being the Respondent filing their ET3 response, and the tribunal listing a case management preliminary hearing to then case manage the complaint. The claim proceeds only as a protected disclosure dismissal complaint because the other complaints brought by the Claimant were rejected due to the Claimant not having undertaken Acas early conciliation.
