A group of staff sacked by the makers of Grand Theft Auto (GTA) have been refused pay relief by a judge.
Rockstar Games fired the employees from its UK studios for gross misconduct, accusing them of sharing confidential information in a public server on the Discord chat app.
The workers, who claim they lost their jobs for attempting to unionise, launched legal action against the company and applied for interim relief - meaning they would continue to be paid until the case concluded.
But a tribunal in Glasgow said it could not grant the measure - known as interim relief - because it could not be sure the case would succeed when it goes to a full hearing.
Following a hearing last week, a judgement was released outlining the arguments made and the reasons for refusing the claim.
