Chapter 5
Interim relief
[ch 5: page 174]An employee who has been dismissed because of union activities may be able to claim interim relief in an employment tribunal (see Chapter 10, page 400). The employee and union must act quickly because a claim for interim relief must be brought within seven days of the termination date (called the effective date of termination (see page 394)). No time extensions are allowed. Applications for interim relief are not subject to Acas Early Conciliation (see Chapter 14).
