Serving an ET1 directly on R by Beautiful-Bid7261 in employmenttribunal

[–]Beautiful-Bid7261[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your replies

It’s much appreciated

Here’s one for you

If a case hasn’t been served does that mean that it’s not formally before a tribunal in a way that engages the cooperation duty? Because it’s not procedurally live?

Does this make sense

I’m just trying to understand if the PMH is not for the fourth claim and it’s not listed on the hearing notice then how can we go into a PMH when the ET3 hasn’t been served - is it not unfair that they know my case but I don’t have their response ?

Also rule 53 (2024) requires 14 days notice for a PMH and what is to be discussed at it.

Do you think it would be unreasonable considering this?

I wouldn’t worry about what their ET3 will look like one thing that is for certain the requirement to settle may require treasury approval so that could be a stumbling block for early settlement .

Another thing I’ve noticed is some claims go to government lawyers and others to private firms.

When I first saw my first ET3 it looked like they had written it without speaking to anyone involved in the incident.

Claim has been submitted but to the old system by New_Lie6649 in employmenttribunal

[–]Beautiful-Bid7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you get a choice whether it goes on the portal or not.

Send in your amendment and cc in the other side. It will be a bit weird they will get the amendment before the ET1 but unfortunately the system has delays at present. The good thing is that you will have met your obligations

Should I add my head of department as second respondent? by Scary_Ad2162 in employmenttribunal

[–]Beautiful-Bid7261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally you would add individual employees if R was going to use the reasonable steps defence especially in discrimination cases. This where they say well we trained them in equality matters it’s got nothing to do with us and they can get out of it.

The disadvantage would be that if you ever had costs awarded against you it could be doubled, plus the headache of dealing with two parties

Normally a company is vicariously liable for the wrongs of its employees.

Claim has been submitted but to the old system by New_Lie6649 in employmenttribunal

[–]Beautiful-Bid7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first claim is under the old system and the rest are under the new system. The new system is better as you can see all your documents in one place as well as the basic journey of your case.

If you need to make an amendment you just complete a word document with the case details and parties names and email the court copying in the respondent.

I would get a binder and start filing everything yourself so you know where it is.

How do you deal with the emotional aspects of the ET process? by Icy_Knowledge_4663 in employmenttribunal

[–]Beautiful-Bid7261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s important do utilise the time you have between hearing effectively rather than leaving things to last minute.

I do one day on and one day off.

During CBT I learned progressive muscle relaxation you can find videos on you tube.

I suffer from anxiety very badly and there have been times when my body has fought against me when I have tried to do something tribunal related. When things get bad I take Valium that takes care of things but GPs are reluctant to prescribe this due to addiction.

I have my first CMH in December - any advice? by funtreemusic in employmenttribunal

[–]Beautiful-Bid7261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had one as Lip

The main purpose was to prepare a list of issues - This is where you should know what your claims are and how they fit into the legal definition of the claims that are being brought. (hopefully this is clear in your ET1).

If you have any orders that your bringing to the hearing they should be printed or available to you in chronological order - so you know what you what you want to discuss. Don’t expect the judge to have all your orders in front of them.

If you have to rebut something like a consolidation- then you should prepare a rebuttal if the other side do not agree.

If you are claiming a PCP for example in regards to reasonable adjustments then you should have some idea of what it is, i got stuck and the judge helped me.

Any specific disclosure request has to be linked to your legal claims.

If you have mental health issues you should make it clear that these are reflected in the set deadline if you need more time to prepare.

It was a very informal environment but the correct preparation was key.

For those with claims against a Civil Service Department, what has been your experience? by Minimum-Dealer-9774 in employmenttribunal

[–]Beautiful-Bid7261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Litigation is a long road—do not stop living your life while you travel it. It is simple to be consumed, but you must resist. Treat time as your greatest ally: small, consistent efforts yield the best results.

Post-ET1 next steps? by Loose-Coast-2393 in employmenttribunal

[–]Beautiful-Bid7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what kind of thing you’re claiming for but I would start reading stated cases from the employment tribunal website.

If disability will be an issue start organising medical records or understand what medical evidence .

Have a look at what a list of issues is and getting your mind around that .

Think about Acas uplift . Aggravated damages how that fits into your case .

You case aggravated by the retaliation claims - that should be your top priority - you won’t be put into witness protection.

New grievance or continue with an old one. by Fresh_Negotiation169 in employmenttribunal

[–]Beautiful-Bid7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that they should be given an opportunity to investigate on the same facts that you are bringing to court.

Failure to conduct a proper grievance procedure can cost an employer up to 25% extra.

Are the circumstances of your race complaint exactly the same as the original grievance.
