Employment Tribunals
6 Answers
Can anyone advise me on preparing a Schedule of Loss for an Employment Tribunal. It is under the Disability Discrimination Act.
Unfortunately Legal Advice is not freely available for Employment Issues (another issue in itself!)...and to cut a long story short, I have taken a company to a Tribunal on behalf of my diasabled daughter.
We have had a Case Management Hearing, and the case has been set for a 2 day hearing.
The Judge advised me to get help on preparing the Schedule, but everywhere I try...they cannot help as it is an Employment Issue (even the disability support networks)...unless I pay at least �160 an hour for a Solicitor. All they have advised is to look at Vento.
I know roughly what to do...from downloading on the net, but would really appreciate a little bit of help?
Many thanks...Pauline

I too took a company to a tribunal after I was conveiniently made redundant after I developed cancer. I couldnt afford legal fees so did it myself and they helped me on the day. I won my case and �30000 on compensation. One of the major items on my schedule of loss was the fact that I had life insurance which I could not replace as no-one would give someone with cancer life cover. I was awarded �15000 for the loss of this cover. The rest was made up of loss of wages etc. Good luck . My best advice is stay calm.
Citizens Advice help for free. Tribunals are often prepared by lay people.
