Course outline
The quality of preparation of employment tribunal cases fundamentally affects the success of the case. Our experience is that well prepared cases are usually settled before a hearing and with an out come that the client is happy with.
The reasons for this are not complicated – in well prepared cases the right issues have been identified, the right evidence has been obtained and persuasively presented, the weaknesses in the competing cases have been identified and the value of the case has been understood by both sides.
