Tribunal Question

Grace

Dear all, 

I am currently working with our employment law consultancy on preparing a draft response letter as a former employee had decided to take us to a tribunal regarding redundancy. Throughout the process I was guided by our employment law consultant who advised us what we could and couldn't do, overall the process was very difficult and kept being delayed by the employee's daughter who was acting as a translator, she has now decided to represent her mother in the tribunal. 

This is the first time this I have been involved in this process and it is a bit daunting when you're in a stand alone HR role. Does anyone have any tips or 'must ask' questions. Our solicitor is very good and will cover all the bases, but I want to be able to use this as a L&D opportunity as well. 

Many thanks

  • Hi Grace, 4 really great responses here, no doubt more will follow. The key message is: you have a great go-to place with this forum, lots of members will have read your post and thought much the same. This is one of the difficulties with tribunals and that's why mock tribunals are so very popular, it's a shame more of them aren't organised. Until you've been through the tribunal process a few times it's hard to know what to expect and there are forum members here who have taken the tribunal path many times so you can be confident about the quality of their guidance. Please do come back with any questions - no such thing as a stupid question - even if only for a sanity check. It'll help with getting a good night's sleep. :-) And good luck with your case, I hope you achieve the best possible outcome for all concerned.
