Tribunal Representation

There are a whole series of statutory claims, ranging from Unfair Dismissal to Discrimination to Unpaid Wages, that an employee can bring against you in the Employment Tribunal.

The Employment Tribunal’s rules and procedures can be daunting for those who are not familiar with them and it is easy to make mistakes that can be costly. Time limits can be strictly applied with serious consequences if these are not met.

In an Unfair Dismissal Claim it is possible for damages of over £80,000.00 to be awarded and in some cases, particularly those relating to Discrimination, there is no financial limit at all.

Rees Page can offer assistance every step of the way, from drafting the reply to the Claim, preparing your defence fully for hearing right through to fighting your corner at the Employment Tribunal itself. Sometimes the right advice will be that you are “on a sticky wicket” and should settle, and if that applies to you we will help you to obtain the best terms possible.

If you have received a Tribunal Claim you only have a limited time to respond. Failure to do so will prevent you from taking any part in the proceedings. If you have fallen foul of the time limits it may not be too late for us to get things back on track for you if you act promptly. Contact us today if you need help.
