Does this advice also apply to Scotland?

Hi there, I purchased the video but I am still clueless about negotiating. My employer is offering a ridiculous amount and I sent them the numbers of how much the claim is worth, they sent “a final” counteroffer but it is still 80% less of what I previously suggested. Don’t know what to do as there are not tups about negotiating tactics

None of this applies in the US for small businesses Valla, your country of origin. What do you feel about that?

This is precisely what i needed to hear, Thank You.

Where is Reddit community please

Thank you very much

Can you mention tribunal? Won't that lead to being sacked for breaching employment contract?

Good morning. I would like your advice on my situation. I’ve worked for Royal Mail for 17 years I’ve had hospital appointment twice refused and there was days to be had . I’ve had my manager calling me when I was off work with low mood for 5 months with her saying that nobody In work wants to work with me anymore as they’re scared of upsetting me. I then called 3 posties and they all hadn’t said such a thing . I also saw another postman and he explained that he didn’t know anything about it. I’ve been moved to another office temporarily because of my grievance on a postman (assistant manager )as well in which I had shingles with distressing, it’s led me to feel that I couldn’t do my normal duty at my old office as my mental health just collapsed by being sent to there .could you explain that I could put this into my early conciliation and tribunal. My acas conciliator has only pushed me towards the 17 year service and trying to get something out of this . I’m having a phone call today from acas conciliator Thanks Rhys

I can't find the link

The respondents solicitor sent the warning during the hearing before I was going to cross examination. They said they knew I was a homeowner and could pay costs They also revealed to the tribunal I had a son which I previously had not informed work about as private. I was called a liar, dillusional and not operating in reality. I have autism spectrum disorder.

Can you resign without giving a reason and then open a tribual case against your employer? Thanks

Great video. I’ve had a letter like this from the respondents solicitor. Thank you

I can't find the link

What if the respondents missed deadlines stipulated in the CMO for submitting their disclosure? It was sent a week later. Do i need to notify the ET by email or this needs to be flagged during the FH? And how do i claim costs for that please? Thanks

Very insightful, no doubt. I'm currently in my last stage prior to my FH. In the process of drafting the WS and then schedule of loss! No idea where to start as I'm representing myself! Any directions please? Thank you

hi, how do i contact you

I have called and emailed them no response

It's very common in the UK

Excellent video. I am going through a Tribunal, also representing myself and have my PM in a weeks time. Everything you have said or experienced at the initial stage, I am familiar with. That gave me some 'comfort' (if that's the right word)! In particular seeking Legal representation from my Home Insurance Policy (waste of time) to so-called 'no win no fee' (another waste of time - I 'didn't qualify', they didn't want to represent me for free but would if I paid them). Your video was a chance for me to double check my Case Management form. Although there are no guarantees, best chance of success is to be as prepared as possible and stick to the facts. Thank you for the inspiring me and many others.

Thanks Valla, I had a barrister make several comments about my nationality/ race at a pupillage interview. My links to my country of origin were raised as an issue and I was told I would face a steep disadvantage compared to people from the area among other questions/ comments, about four in total. In general, I would appreciate your view on the appropriateness of comments relating to race/ nationality at an interview, my view is that the comments in and of themselves are less favourable treatment as they contribute to a hostile interview environment, presumably questions about race are not put to British people. I’d also appreciate a view on Section 47 of the Equality Act 2010 which expressly prohibits discrimination in the context of pupillage. Two years after the interview, I found out the identity of the comparator - he had negligible experience and qualifications, at the time of the interview it appeared he had not even passed the bar course, but he was predictably from the area I had interviewed for and objectively of British nationality. I have raised the issue with the BSB to no avail. The worst thing for me is the psychological distress of being gaslit by an institution, being told I was not good enough only to find out a poorly qualified and inexperienced person from the area was given the pupillage while I, having dedicated years to my education and building up experience was made to feel humiliated and had my motivations put under fire. Im interested in how to recorder psychologically from the toll of having an opportunity stolen and being gaslit about it.

Rights don't pay the bills enough hrs do

You should tell people the tribunal is totally corrupt to save them wasting time. I'm now having to go to the court of human rights its sickening

Thanks the last one did it for me, forcing them to deliver emails sent/received is huge.

Thanks to this reporter I can't have my medication after my thorough private diagnosis of ADD and Autism. The reporter obviously has no respect for people who have been suffering their whole life with this problem.

Incredible video! Thank you

Or the classic: starting disciplianry action after you have handed in your notice, when you will no longer be an employee by the time the grievance and appeals processes could be completed.

I am autistic. My ability to go above and beyond is limited. This has not stopped me being a CEO in the private and Voluntary Sectors. I didn't get there by turning up at 5am for silly meetings that served no purpose!

To some extent this is true, but if they use an HR consultant like Peninsula and have followed their advice, and have insurance, they know they are not really in a financial position. My view is that that kind of cover just encourages bad behaviour by employers.

Please carefully read Rule 37, 39 and 76 if you’re going to advise people. Rule 39 deposit order is given if there’s LITTLE REASONABLE prospect of success. The judge is looking at their assessment of the prospects based on all the factors. The claimant’s knowledge or thoughts about their own case is irrelevant. Reasons are given by the judge if a deposit order is made. If the claim goes on to fail for substantially the same reasons, then it is assumed by the rules that the party has acted unreasonably for the purposes of costs. This means that step one for the employer to award costs is already met. The claimant should know their claim is weak and unreasonably chose to continue because the judge said so when the deposit order was made. The ‘no reasonable’ prospects test for strike out (R37) or costs (R76) has nothing to do with taking the piss or not believing in the case. It’s an objective test and someone can be asked to pay costs even when they think they’re right but actually their claim has no reasonable prospect. AO = anonymity order made under Rule 50. RRO= restricted reporting order. I know you aren’t a lawyer but if you’re giving such unequivocal advice (and in some cases taking money to do it), you should at least be familiar with the basic rules and common occurrences in Tribunal?

Thank you for that ...I am representing a person today at a preliminary hearing today ...

Great video do you have one for workplace retaliation?

can you please provide the site and link to legal coaches . Thanks

Potentially discriminatory toward those with disabilities who can't "go above and beyond" for whatever reason. That doesn't mean they don't give the best of themselves during work hours and often give more than they should. When will employers understand this?

Hey hope u are doing goood. May i know my wife is also pregnant and the employer is forcing always to work like 40 hours which has to done in 5 days. They are giving shift like working from 6 am morning to night 9 pm and working hours in between is just 6 to 7hours. Is ok if. She cant able to make 40 hours as she has to drive whole day and back pain . Employer always scared that u have to meet contractual hours is that fair.

Hi team, these sessions are great and incredibly helpful. Thank you. I have subscibed to mailing list etc but somehow missed this Q&A happening. Is there another scheduled? If so could you confirm the date so I can make sure to attend. Thanks again

This rattles my cage so much! As a new(ish) mum who can’t make 8am meetings or after work ‘events’ at short notice, my career inevitably will be stalled because I’m not giving 110% 😡

Love all of your content thank you so much for sharing it’s really helping me go through the tribunal process without representation

Fantastic video - thank you 🙏

I have been watching cases as they go to court. You can ask your local Tribunal Office if you can watch.

Oh no. I met Masumah on the morning of this Live and it would have been great to have watched this then too. I hope you do another Live soon. x I am struggling really badly with my list of issues. I had a solicitor for the first part of my case. She didn't add anything important that I wanted to raise in the Particulars of Claim, so now as I understand it, I can't raise anything in the Preliminary Hearing which the Judge has giving me a Part 2. Is this correct?

I think somone who has won a tribunal sjould give some pointers on how they lead up to winning just how donna said about addin a second bundle ect

5:00 protected disclosure?

Hi Dnae, I'm currently using Valla and had some great support from Michelle. I have some suggestions about how I feel Valla could improve and make your fantastic service more accessible. I'd love to have a chat with you and discuss these with you? Regards Michael Reay
