Claims that have not yet been heard by a Tribunal
If you already have a claim lodged with an Employment Tribunal in England or Wales, we will be happy to complete the case handling and represent you at your full merits hearing and any preliminary hearings that have yet to take place.
This will be on our normal NO WIN NO FEE terms, providing our Consultants consider that you have a reasonably arguable case.
If we do not consider that your claim stands a reasonable prospect of success, you will receive a written Opinion from a Consultant, explaining the pitfalls and weaknesses in law that you are likely to come up against if you proceed with the case. This can be valuable to you in considering your way forward.
If you are unhappy with a Tribunal’s Decision and wish to appeal
There are no guarantees in law and we are sorry, we will not take on any appeals of Decisions in cases where we did not represent the Claimant at the Employment Tribunals. You can do this yourself, providing the appeal is based on a point of law and not just that you would like the Decision reviewed by another body.
When the Employment Tribunals send out your Decision, they send an information booklet with it. This gives details on how to apply for a Review of the Decision.
If the Decision does not contain Extended Reasons, you can request this from the Tribunal. You need the Extended Reasons to lodge an appeal with the Employment Appeals Tribunal. They have a very helpful Internet site at http://www.employmentappeals.gov.uk.
You have up to 42 days from the date of the Tribunal’s Decision (it will say at the top the date on which this was promulgated, which is the date the 42 days start). The address for appeals is:
