Employment Law

Claimants and their advisers finding themselves before an employment tribunal or the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) for the first time are faced with many procedures and rules that can confuse and mystify. Employment Tribunal Claims brings together an extensive collection of precedents to equip the claimant with the tools and tactics to win their cases.

This is not a book of substantive law - it concentrates on the practical and the tactical, guiding claimants and advisers through the unwritten rules and pit-falls of tribunal procedure, providing insight into the 'mind' of the tribunal and giving helpful tips on successful letter writing, submissions, cross-examination notes and draft directions.

Employment Tribunal Claims will support and reassure the adviser at every stage of the process. It not only tells you what to do, it tells you what not to do.

Building on the success of the first edition, this second edition includes:-

• a new chapter on remedies and enforcement;
• a new section on preparing witnesses to give evidence;
• a new section on getting the respondent struck out;
• substantially expanded guidance on the conduct of the hearing itself;
• updated guidance on pre-action preparation in light of EAT case-law.

There is depth and variety to give reassurance to beginners in the field. Employment Tribunal Claims will also serve as an excellent occasional resource for the established practitioner looking for some borrowed experience of a particular tactical problem.

Employment Tribunal Claims is supported by www.etclaims.net/ which is maintained by the authors and provides a continuous searchable update on developments in law and practice relevant to the material covered in the book, plus further additional hints on tactics.
