Mr Brandon Duffy v BXTR 3 Ltd t/a House of Gods

The EAT held the tribunal erred in refusing interim relief in a whistleblowing case. The case is remitted to the same tribunal for a fresh summary assessment.

The Employment Appeal Tribunal allowed Mr Brandon Duffy’s appeal against a Glasgow employment tribunal judgment that refused his application for interim relief. The judgment was dated 10 August 2026.

The case concerns a whistleblowing automatic unfair dismissal claim under section 103A of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant says he was dismissed because of a protected disclosure. The respondent disputes that any disclosure was made and says dismissal was for probationary performance.
