👋 Heads up!
I am not a lawyer nor do I claim to be. This is advice based on my own experience representing myself in a gruelling 11 day trial with a cumulative 14 days in court and a full 2 years from case commencement to Remedy award. Read more about my case here: www.thetimes.co.uk/article/gp...

Hi did you have to do a final submission? we need to do it in writing for next month, any ideas on this please?

@beentheredonethat9647 Год назад

I did a closing statement but not written. You can't really do it in advance/before the hearing if there are a lot of witnesses as lot's of curveballs and unexpected topics can come up, and you don't know their angle until you see what kind of questions they are asking... if it's been asked for in writing I would have a draft ready but tweak it as you go so it relates to what has been discussed throughout

Hi. Great content ! - I am taking a legal firm to court for not paying the NMW and exploiting young professionals. From your experience, would you say they are very accomodating with claimants especially in this case as I am up against Lawyers !! As of course we dont know the process etc aswell as they do etc ? As an example, they keep stating they will be seeking legal costs etc, basically threatning and deterring tactics. Thanks

@beentheredonethat9647 Месяц назад

Hi. There's little avenue for "seeking legal costs". It's a basic employee right to raise a claim. A respondent does not need legal representation so if they chose to pay for lawyers that's their choice. The only place for such a claim against you would be via things like "cost orders" (look them up in the "tribunal rules" for further info). And this is for when you are being horrible to them or breaking the rules...etc. if you are finding these threats unsettling, ask the tribunal for a preliminary case management hearing to discuss. Respondents should not make financial threats

@najhussain9498 Месяц назад

Thanks - after being very agressive, now that they have seen the evidence submitted they have changed their tune and offered a settlement - well thats getting rejected. One thing though, if they are happy to pay out all the claim but we still wish to pursue to the tribunal then can we subject to costs as in essence that could be considered unreasonable ? - now you may ask why would you want to continue if they want to pay whatever you claim.... because what they have done is in fact illegal by not paying the NMW and as other organisations such as the Solicitors Regulation Authority wont handle an issue unless a court rules this is the case and it was unlawful hence we would still like to continue as we dont want this firm to abuse that in the future and to stop this practice. Whats your thoughts or suggestion on that ? Thank you 😊

I've got an employment tribunal on Friday. Can't seem to find any legal advice to decipher the jargon. The other side have got a slick lawyer hounding me emails asking for witness statement etc. İs there legal help available for Joe bloggs ?

@beentheredonethat9647 9 месяцев назад

Sadly not for free! However, largely it's a waste of money. Employment tribunals are intended to be accessible to Joe Bloggs without needing lawyers. Don't let them flummux you with lingo (watch my video on the lingo!), sometimes that's all they have. Stick to the truth and you'll be fine. Also make sure you meet all the deadlines for preparing the bundle and exchanging statements...etc. good luck!!
