What this usually involves

Tribunal claims have tight deadlines and no automatic costs recovery, so early strategic decisions about settlement or defence matter more than in the civil courts.

  • Responding to the ET1 within the deadline
  • Assessing merits, exposure and ACAS conciliation
  • Preparing witness evidence and bundles for hearing

Common questions

How long do we have to respond?
Usually 28 days from the date the claim is sent to you; extensions are not guaranteed.
Are discrimination awards capped?
No, unlike ordinary unfair dismissal, discrimination compensation is uncapped and can include injury to feelings.
