Managing Employment Tribunals

Understand what your employer - and their lawyers - are going to do.

Your employer's team may include senior business leaders, HR, finance - all gathering documents, building timelines and preparing their schedule of loss, plus a barrister or a solicitor.

As a claimant, you're by yourself but you don't have to be on your own. Here are 12 practical courses to help you through the 12 key procedural stages of the Tribunal process - built by a former Partner in employment law at leading law firms.

The Gap

They know the process. Now you can too.

Employment Tribunals aren't won on emotion - they're won on process and attention to detail. With help and preparation you can approach the list of issues and the case management hearing with confidence and manage disclosure, agree the bundle, write your witness statement and stand up to cross-examination - as well as deliver your own final submissions.

Your employer's solicitor or barrister has done this all before. You can do this too, and you don't need a law degree. You just need to know what happens at each stage and what to do - and take it step by step.

Case management hearing
Know what to expect at your first hearing and how to prepare the case management agenda and the essential list of issues.
Schedule of loss
Know how to calculate your actual and future loss, non-financial loss and allow for tax and percentage enhancements and reductions.
Disclosure
Understand what evidence you have to hand over, what you can ask for and how the process actually works.
Bundle of documents
Agree the bundle that works for your case with the other side, making sure it's constructed and delivered in the way the Tribunal expects.
Witness statements
Structure your witness statement in alignment with the agreed bundle and make sure it is exchanged in accordance with the Directions and submitted to the Tribunal ahead of the hearing.
Giving your evidence
Practical guidance on how to be a clear, credible witness. How to prepare, deliver and answer cross-examination questions on your evidence.
Cross-examining their witnesses
A straightforward framework and practical techniques for questioning the other side's witnesses, without formal legal training.
Delivering final submissions
Pull everything together into a clear closing argument, so you know what to say and how to put it in writing.

Why Not Just Get a Solicitor?

Because most people can't afford one.

Employment Tribunals don't require you to have a solicitor, and a solicitor can cost thousands of pounds. This series gives you practical working knowledge of the process, built specifically for people representing themselves, for a fraction of the cost.

Questions

Before You Start

Do I need a law degree to follow this?
No. Every course is written in plain English by a former Partner in employment law at leading law firms, with no legal jargon and no assumed knowledge.
If I win, will I get my costs back?
Rarely. Tribunals very rarely award costs, even to the winning side, which is why the process is designed so you can represent yourself without needing to recover solicitor fees.
Can I just buy the course I need right now?
Yes. Every course is available individually from £12.99, or you can get all 12 as the Full Series for £299.
How long do I have access?
Once purchased, your courses are yours to revisit at any stage of your case, at your own pace. They will remain in your personal online dashboard for 24 months.
