It's Critical to Understand Your Objective

Claimants Need A Strategy - Not Just a Checklist

Give yourself the best possible chance of success by planning your Tribunal pathway carefully. We'll show you how.

The key is to understand how each stage of the Tribunal process connects to the next - and to make sure you are preparing for what comes later.

Once you have filed your ET1, your focus should turn to the agreeing an accurate List of Issues because those Issues provide the framework for everything that follows.

Disclosure and the agreed bundle ensure that the evidence relevant to those issues is identified and available. Your witness statement should address the Issues directly. Cross-examination tests the evidence on each Issue and your final submissions bring the evidence and your arguments together Issue by Issue, to help the Tribunal reach its decision.

Our Video Guides take you through the Tribunal process step by step. From preparing your claim before you file your ET1, through to delivering your final submissions.

Why Choose Tribunal-Ready →

“Claimants often overlook the importance of the List of Issues - it's the key to the road map. Everything else leads from it: the disclosure, the bundle, the witness statements, the cross-examination and the final submissions.”
