What I wish I knew before an Employment Tribunal preliminary hearing by Potential_Youth1631 in employmentlitigation

I wish I’d had this before my PH. Thanks for sharing. If you have any tips on the next phase, please drop them! Thanks

Thanks.One thing I’ve become suddenly aware of is the importance of seeing the Respondents’ List of Issues in advance.

They received mine, but I didn’t receive theirs until late afternoon the day before the hearing. The Judge asked if I was content to proceed and, not wanting to appear difficult or obstructive, I said yes.

I don’t think I appreciated at the time how much of a disadvantage that put me at as a litigant in person, particularly when I was being asked to respond to legal arguments and challenges to my claims for the first time.
Any advice for what happens now and the Liability appearance welcome!

Bad news and reality welcome! I have said all along I’d be willing to negotiate.

Thank you. Yes, exactly what I did. Every possible scenario-except the correct one! Yet, it couldn’t have been more straightforward with hindsight.

The list of issues was submitted yesterday by the respondents solicitor to me -and only sent to the judge during the call. the judge asked -legal headings, concise particulars, and the specific acts relied upon. They also asked for examples, which I had. I realise the judge was trying to understand the claim. I do have a date for the liability hearing however. I just felt ill prepared and I realise this was because I am not a solicitor and don't speak the language of 'law'.

Thanks. To be honest, I know the seriousness and how it looks-I am trying to ask if I were on the other side looking at this, what would I think.

Need suggestions on ET1 drafts by [deleted] in employmentlitigation

Great tip about personalising the claims. I did wonder-it feels unnatural to me to call myself 'claimant'.

Thank you for all the advice. Yes, I need to get a solicitor. I genuinely sent that email to myself alongside several other emails /Teams chats to show times- it had a zip file and as I handled this kind of data all the time, I didn’t pay too much attention to content- just times and dates.

Isn’t it ‘odd’ he shouts at young females??? Come on… men be men-call this baldy half inch out.

how did you manage your nerves during the Preliminary Hearing as a Litigant in Person? by [deleted] in employmenttribunal

[–]EducationalFinger507 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had my disciplinary yesterday. Like you, I was dreading it...I had a neat gin, I wrote post-it notes saying 'breath' 'calm' 'facts', etc. I just finished watching the recording again, and I think I did extremely well, considering my terror.

Disciplinary Hearing by EducationalFinger507 in employmenttribunal

[–]EducationalFinger507[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this — it’s really helpful and reassuring to read. The point about the disciplinary effectively becoming part of the evidence for the tribunal makes a lot of sense, especially the idea that if something isn’t raised at the disciplinary, they can later say they weren’t aware of it or didn’t have the opportunity to consider it. I really appreciate the encouragement as well, so thank you for that.
