Application on notice by the Claimant for interim relief to prevent the Defendant union, the RMT, from calling a strike on the basis of a ballot that it conducted amongst its members employed by the Claimant. The central question was whether the Defendant trade union gave sufficient information to the employer to discharge its duty of notification under the relevant provisions of the 1992 Act as amended that would thus enable any strike action to be protected by statute and qualify for exemption from tortious liability, and thus amounting to a lawful strike call.
