Overview

STOP PRESS: FULLY REVISED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNAL RULES OF PROCEDURE 2020

This summer marks a step change in the way that the Employment Tribunal System will deal with cases as the Rules of Procedure will change fundamentally from 29th July 2020.

The written rules of procedure are only part of the picture when it comes to running an employment tribunal caseload. This course unravels and reveals the unwritten rules, good practice, procedures, potential pitfalls and tactics necessary to manage cases effectively, no matter what the rules say!

Focusing heavily on practical case study exercises, we will acquaint you with the practical reality of bringing and defending claims in the employment tribunal system.

By the end of this course you will be able to:

• Appreciate the significance of the new Overriding Objective in all aspects of employment tribunal work
• Carry out basic analysis of a party’s case or defence – can a Claimant win or a Respondent defend successfully?
• Appreciate the purpose and format of the new Claim Form (ET1) and the new Response Form (ET3)
• Understand the typical procedural steps a case will take from instigation to conclusion and prepare a basic case plan.
• Identify relevant information, documentation and witness evidence in relation to a case.
• Identify opportunities for negotiation, settlement and withdrawal of a case and how these apply in practice.
• Outline the Employment Tribunal costs regime and the new fee structure (in force from 29th July 2020) and understand how this impacts on practical advice to clients.
