Employment Litigation - In The Employment Tribunals And The Courts

The number of claims being brought by employees in the Employment Tribunals and Courts is ever increasing due to the current economic climate. It is therefore more important than ever to understand employees’ rights and to have policies and procedures in place for managing the employment relationship. Such knowledge is invaluable in trying to avoid problems escalating to a claim but will also prepare you in the event that litigation does arise.

Most contentious employment matters are dealt with in the Employment Tribunal (such as unfair dismissal and discrimination claims). However, parties can also take action through the Courts such as for high value, breach of contract claims and obtaining or defending injunction applications.

Our employment team has a wide range of experience in advising both employers and employees in relation to the whole spectrum of employment litigation in both the Employment Tribunals and the Courts. All members of our team have advocacy experience and deal with matters varying from simple, unfair dismissal claims to more complex, high value cases including discrimination and group action claims.

We can provide experienced assistance in handling all contentious matters, whether for employers or employees, from start to finish. This includes providing a case assessment at the outset detailing the legal merits of the case, the potential compensation and our suggested approach to the claim. Our service also includes dealing with all directions from the tribunal including disclosure of documents, drafting witness statements, attending case management discussions, pre-hearing reviews and hearings, as necessary, as well as dealing with any potential mediation and/or settlement issues.

Recent examples of our work in this area include:

1. Acting for an airline in respect of various employment tribunal claims brought by ex-pilots and cabin crew involving unfair dismissal and TUPE issues
2. Acting for an airport operator in defending an employment tribunal claim by an air traffic controller, securing a withdrawal of the claim
3. Acting for a major national law firm in defending a discrimination claim brought by a solicitor
4. Acting for an international manufacturing company in respect of claims brought by ex-employees following a collective redundancy exercise
5. Advising a group of 45 former employees in relation to their multi-million pound group action claim against Thomas Cook Group
6. Representing various individuals in relation to discrimination claims against former employers, leading to the achievement of six figure settlement sums
7. Acting for an employee in relation to a claim against her FTSE 100 employer involving the Data Protection Act and incorrect information on the employee’s personnel file

Legal advice for taken action against Employer in UK

Mr MacDowall is given compensation after he has, taken action against his employer, advice from Legal adviser in the UK.  Mr MacDowall worked as a porter in a private hospital for 9 years. The job required little supervision or direction.

The new hospital manager gave all the porters new terms and conditions to sign. These basically took away their right to paid lunch breaks and lengthened each shift worked. Our client refused to sign his new terms and conditions. From then onwards our client and another porter who refused to sign the new conditions were singled out for slight non-adherence to company policy.

He was supervised almost daily and his performance was criticised. He was formally disciplined twice verbally and once with a written procedure. The next time Mr MacDowall was called into the office for a disciplinary warning he walked out.

How make easily claim compensation against Unfairly Dismissed from Jobs

Miss Johncey wins compensation after her unfairly dismissed claim is upheld. Legal employment solicitors helped her to get compensation. Miss Johncey worked as a secretary/ receptionist for several years. Her job entailed sitting at the reception desk typing up notes for her boss, answering the phone and being the initial contact within the building to direct visitors in the correct direction.

Her boss retired and a younger manager took his place. Her workload decreased dramatically as he did all his own typing. He started harassing her and constantly critisised her in front of the rest of the staff.

She heard him saying that he wanted someone who looked more in keeping with the young upmarket image on the reception desk. Miss Johncey was very upset; she went home ill that day and could not face going back to work. She wrote a resignation letter stating that she felt she had been the subject of a constructive dismissal.

Will you need to pay to make a claim? Legal employment solicitors work on a no win no fee basis. Our fees are charged to the other side, you win 100% of the compensation you are awarded.  Miss Johncey has settled her case out of court, and she has been astonished that the process has been so speedy and stress free.

Easy making a claim with Legal advisor, UK for compensation against Wrongful dismissal from job

Mrs Noorwood gets wrongful dismissal compensation after taking advice about making a claim from Legal adviser.  Mrs Noorwood was a manager of a jewellery store. She had 7 staff working under her control; she had been internally promoted to manager of the shop over 2 years prior.

Easy making a claim with Legal adviser

Her area manager retired and Mrs Noorwood applied for his job; she was unsuccessful and a new area manager was employed. He had worked in clothing prior to this role.

He had lots of different ideas about how the jewellery was to be displayed and although our client tried her best to follow his instructions she would occasionally not achieve the look he wanted for the shop. He would verbally abuse her and call her stupid for not being able to adhere to simple instructions. Eventually he managed to get our client dismissed.

I have been the victim of wrongful dismissal and I would like employment solicitor advice about making a claim. Legal adviser never charges up-front-fees to make employment law claims. We take our fees from the other side, you get 100% of the compensation that you are awarded.

The matter has been settled for Mrs Noorwood out of court. She has won compensation for the unfair treatment she received. Most importantly for her we were able to get a favourable reference for her and she has already found a better paid job.

Compensation claim for Constructive dismissal by Legal Employment lawyers

Constructive dismissal gets Mrs Pentecost compensation; Legal Employment lawyers take her case on a no win no fee basis in the UK.

Mrs Pentecost had been a bakery assistant for 2 years. She had been away on maternity leave and a new manager started on her first day back at work. She had worn the same uniform that she had before she had her baby. It was the maternity uniform and she should have written to the company to request an ordinary uniform prior to her return.

The new manager noticed immediately and asked Mrs Pentecost to request a uniform during her break. She then uttered a diatribe of complaints about her hair, shoes, nails and make-up. Our client burst into tears and the manager told her she was too hormonal to be back at work.

Mrs Pentecost was too upset to do her shift, so she said she felt too ill to work and went home. She went back to work the following day and was subjected to the same harsh treatment. After 3 days at work she could not face going back to work.

You would like compensation; you have been subjected to a constructive dismissal; can I get employment lawyers to help me get in the UK?

Legal Employment lawyers helped Mrs Pentecost to write a resignation letter detailing the treatment resulting in her resignation and we were able to win her compensation for her treatment.

Mr. Swithe is delighted after he wins his harassment at work claim in London. He is glad he chose Legal solicitors as “they were professional and expedient when dealing with my case.”

Mr. Swithe had suffered from a course of increasingly demeaning treatment when his line manager was replaced with a new line manager. This had the form of derogatory comments and behaviour, and then direct and indirect actions which blocked our client's path to promotion.
