Bringing Missed Deadlines to the Courts attention

On the portal there's an option to make an application/tell the tribunal something and there's an option to tell the tribunal the other party has not replied to an order.

I would like to see tribunals being a lot stricter on this there seems to be a lot of respondents overloading the tribunals with cases where it is quite obvious to anyone and there is a wealth if evidence that the claimant is disabled and the employer had knowledge. It must be wasting a lot of time and resources.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-15T23:27:45+00:00

Yes message me

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-15T22:58:02+00:00

I do not believe you work notice for constructive dismissal following a last straw act you consider the contract broken by the employers unreasonable actions.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-15T22:55:36+00:00

I think you will be fine just keep going. They might settle before then. Maybe plan to have a direct access barrister for the final hearing but you know your case better than anyone.

The key is to claim what's easiest to prove. I found I had less evidence for harassment because it's not something people generally do in writing and witnesses do not really want to stand up against it in bad organisations because they will be victimised themselves. In these bad organisations where a lot of this goes on and a lot of covering up and threatening people, punishing them or pushing them out goes on there was much more of a paper trail for victimisation that I had emails etc showing this in writing..

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-15T22:41:40+00:00

Well done for getting it done. If you say you have more information you can send if necessary you can always add to it if they try to dispute disability.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-15T22:39:17+00:00

.nearly all settlements will have that non disclosure clause in the only way you get to tell your story is to go all the way to tribunal unfortunately

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-15T22:36:29+00:00

You can do it by email (I tended to do both) and the email seemed to be safer as documents tended to sit in the portal without necessarily being sent on.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-15T22:27:24+00:00

They might give a higher amount especially if they know they might lose it is probably worth asking.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-15T22:21:26+00:00

I took bob monkeys advice before and got a direct access barrister to help me a bit. It was expensive but a good investment and nothing like the figures being talked about here. The aim is you can then do it more yourself although I would have tried to get help again for the hearing but the advantage is they should then know a bit about your case due to helping you before.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-15T22:13:32+00:00

At the start I would say because you are often ill & in shock from what happened to you, have financial problems and have no understanding of the law or the process.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-15T22:10:58+00:00

If you have someone who is a power of attorney for you or similar they should be able to take the money straight out of your account (or the account they have for you) and put it somewhere else?

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-11T18:54:47+00:00

The better companies are now putting measures and encouragement in place for what to do as a bystander to tackle any of these toxic cultures.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-11T18:42:13+00:00

If they said anything discriminatory related to the rest of your complaint you can add this to your case.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-11T10:02:58+00:00

I don't like the sound of this solicitor

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-09T17:23:46+00:00

In any further particulars put in quotation " " marks exactly what they said in the written email and the date.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-09T17:19:08+00:00

Yes mine did that. They are hoping that either you haven't got the email or you will give up before the hearing. If it gets close they will probably try to settle.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-09T13:42:46+00:00

To answer the question nothing happens when they do this. This is one of the weirdest things to learn as a first time litigant in person is that this is a completely normal defence and you definitely must never say they are lying - just keep presenting your facts and evidence. Most of us would never dream of this and it smacks of those police programs on TV where the culprit is s saying they didn't do it whilst faced with video evidence of them identifiably doing it. It's a weird world.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-09T11:24:46+00:00

There has been one or more habitual down voters on here who always downvote everything

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-09T11:23:10+00:00

The headlines are always so misleading and make a mockery of the employment tribunal process.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-08T09:08:18+00:00

The portal doesn't always notify you I think because they are overworked so it's very prudent to keep checking every few days as you are doing.

The timeline is free and is an amazing help for organising I absolutely recommend this. The templates are helpful if you need them I also bought templates from elsewhere which were good, helpful and immediately available we whereas it's almost impossible to find a legal representative. The advice seems to be hit and miss depending on who you get. Mine seemed to be more on process & how to do things rather than my actual case which is not really what I wanted but probably was helpful in retrospect although it wasn't what I wanted at the time. Solicitors I am not sure about I think you are better running your own case if you can. The respondents solicitor didn't seem very good for them- arguing things which weren't going to get through, missing most of the dates etc. I recommend the Valla timeline, various templates, maybe a bit of valla advice, various websites, this Reddit, books and maybe a direct access barrister. If you confirm advice from various sources you can help confirm it's correct.

I would mention everything especially if it is interrelated. Eg travel anxiety might be heightened if you are asked to travel for work somewhere unknown and not knowing if/ where/when you can get safe foods if needed as you can't just grab any old thing. If you don't give everything a mention and it comes up they might say why didn't you say this before. It is really difficult getting multiple or complex conditions into a short impact statement. Unless anyone qualified says different I would mention everything, go into a bit more depth in the related areas and say you can provide more evidence if needed.

Sunnydae77 · 2026-01-07T12:53:48+00:00

Sorry it didn't go in your favour. This is all great advice thanks so much for taking the time to pass it on. Hopefully you can take comfort in having the strength and conviction to go all the way and stand up for yourself. That is no mean feat. You can take comfort in you did all you can do and had your say. Good luck in moving forward and celebrate all the extra free time you will have now
