Employment Tribunals are specialised type of courts designed to determine work related disputes. Their jurisdiction is limited only to claims specified by legislation. However, whilst employers can only make contractual counter-claims, the number of claims that employees may bring against employers is enormous.
We represent our Clients from the outset of the process (as early as your employee commences ACAS Early Conciliation against you), until a substantive hearing, and at the Employment Appeal Tribunal. Some of the members of our team, have rights of audience before The Court of Appeal or even The Supreme Court (for details, please call, or write to us). It is very rare that your matter could reach the level of Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court.
The examples of claims that can be brought against your business are;
unfair dismissal claims
constructive unfair dismissal claims
claims under the equality legislation (direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment, failure to make reasonable adjustments for disabled employees)
claims related to equal pay
claims for breach of contract
claims related to “TUPE”
and other claims
If you are facing any employment claim, please contact us at info@kllaw.co.uk, so we can arrange an initial consultation.
