Employment Tribunal Claim for Employer

Our client was approached by ACAS for early conciliation, and a claim was subsequently issued in the Employment Tribunal alleging unfair dismissal and disability discrimination.

We supported the client through the ACAS early conciliation process. Following the issue of the claim, we prepared the Response and Grounds of Resistance to defend the claims within the 28-day deadline.

We then guided the client through the Tribunal’s case management process, ensuring that all directions were complied with and that the case was properly prepared for hearing.

The matter proceeded to judicial mediation, where we represented the client in negotiations with the claimant.

The claim was settled at judicial mediation, meaning the matter did not proceed to a full hearing.

Employers are required to respond to a claim within 28 days of receipt from the Employment Tribunal. Professional advice is essential to defend the claim properly and to ensure that all procedural requirements are met.

Employment Tribunal claims can be time-consuming and costly. Early legal advice can help manage the process effectively and explore settlement options where appropriate.
