ET1 Form- Applying for Interim Relief

[LBL1761]

Good Morning,

so background, l a few days I was let go by an employer I’d been employed by for nine months, to set up a time scale,
Day 1- Whistleblew about issue
Day 2- Pulled into investigation meeting
Day 3- Work for couple hours, pulled into disciplinary hearing with no warning, refuse my right to be accompanied, hand me letter saying I was sacked previous day.

I’ve got all my early conciliation numbers, complicated within itself again, and am now trying to fill in the ET1, but everyone is giving me different information on filing for interim relief, and I’ve found two different ET1’s.

Just wondering if anyone can help me with clearing up this issue, as I don’t know what form I’m filling in, and if it has it online that I’m applying for interim relief or I need to phone the tribunal court that will take my case like it lists in other places, and then obviously because I’m applying for interim relief I’m on a deadline.

Thank you in advance, and thank you for taking the time to read my post.

If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed for making a protected disclosure within the meaning of the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (whistleblowing) you can apply to a tribunal for ‘interim relief’.

This you do when you complete the ET1 form by :

* In section 2.3 tick the box "My claim consists only of a complaint of unfair dismissal which contains an application for interim relief." even if you do have an Early Conciliation number

* In section 8.1 tick both boxes “I was unfairly dismissed” and “I am making another type of claim which the ET can deal with” and write in the box something along the lines of.

"Interim Relief: I am claiming unfair dismissal by reason of whistleblowing and I am applying for Interim Relief pursuant to section 128 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA). For the reasons set out in the Details of Claim at 8.2, I submit that it is likely that the Tribunal will, in determining this complaint under section 103A ERA, find that the main reason for dismissal was due to the protected disclosure/s. Accordingly, unless the Respondent confirms that it is willing to reinstate me, I am entitled to an order for the continuation of my contract of employment pursuant to section 129(9) ERA”.

You must ensure that you submit this ET1 claim containing the application for interim relief within 7 days of your dismissal, this is a really strict deadline.
