This was such a valuable way to spend an hour of my time. Massively appreciate you taking the time to provide the video. Very inspiring and confidence boosting for an LIP. THANK YOU
I'm involved in a human rights tribunal here in Toronto Canada, and I have come very close to deciding to represent myself. It has been devastating, even a lawyer at the legal support centre, an arm of the tribunal, mistreated me so badly I ended up in the hospital, and an overnight stay at the mental hospital with a complete mental breakdown, and I'm considering applying to the Tribunal against them! Trouble is, they already have a preconception that I am overly litigious. These people are going to be the death of me, or I'll have a great outcome, but having you fabulous women post a video such as this is so incredibly helpful!! ❤ Especially given that the UK and Canada are similar, and there's not a lot in Canada that I can find to aid me.
This is great information. I filed 7 months ago with the tribunal. I represent myself. I agree with you that a lot of work. Great life learning tool. Thank you.
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.
@@pandamaci3 Not a very nice experience. A complete fit up against a disabled individual. Repeatly told by the judge that I could not mention reasonable adjustments as part of cross examination. Appeal in may 2025. Judge took 12 months to provide the reasons and even attempted to manipulate me to give up. Hope the. Next judge has fewer human biases and genuine in it to uphold the law, and not employers get away with miss treatment of disabled employees.
A settlement isn't giving up or admitting that you were in the wrong! Sometimes it can be more important to move on, and a settlement can make the transition easier.
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
Thank you so much I was very detailed I had to remove emotion and apply everything to the law I am very lucky to File July 2023 & get Hearing July 2024 - Respondents wanted to bully me into NOT BEING SO DETAILED, not to sue the firm and individual HR and other members of staff - I was determined to hold them accountable
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
I paid a solicitor to draft my first ET1 and then did my own second ET1 claim by copying his layout but I expect i have made some mistakes. I gave two ET1's and now waiting to see if both can be ajoined. Complicated case against my forner employer Merseyside Police which at current I have to represent myself. The first is for suffering detriment after making protected disclosures the second is for suffering further detriments as a result of making those disclosures and disability discrimination. Finding it hard work.
It’s a nightmare. I’m about to head into tribunal after nearly 3 years of dealing with my employer and his lawyers on a whistleblowing case where he ignored multiple health & safety laws re our child employees.
my tribunal ptsd brought me here ,i can tell u a trinunal horror story where my case management discussions where held in the back rooms where nobody can hear u scream .my 3 pretend cmds where over 27 months as they trying wear me out

I wish you sucess
excellent - especially the point about not being discouraged by certain legal advice received...
Sorry what was the name of the charity she speak of around 2:00
Pregnant then screwed
I am amazed how quickly your claim was processed compared to my experience. Filed in Jan 2019 and Full hearing is now March 2023!
How did it go?
Did you win?🙏
@Sheera-bs2tg No I did not win. The judge took 12 months to write up the reasons. So my appeal is scheduled for may 2025.

@@nickweir4767 I’m on the process of early conciliation but I will take my case to tribunal.
Donna you are a superstar hero 🤩 congrats on your win! Sounds like it was well deserved!
Also Valla - I’m SO GRATEFUL for this channel!
Tribunal next week so much and feel overwhelmed to give in to settlement 😢

did you win the case?
How was it?

How long after the final hearing did it take for a decision to be made?
Great piece

Incredible work so far!! 💪
was the individual HR available at any meetings? and always covert record for your own safety

How does it work when you apply for a reference from said company?

I hope you had the outcome you wanted. All the best
Do you have to let ACAS know in writing before you go ahead with a tribunal application?
yes - is mandatory - claim will not be accepted otherwise
Does this advice also apply to Scotland?
Literally in the process of helping a friend making a claim against Morrisons.
Let us know if we can help!
@@valla_law Hi on the ET-1 form can you claim for multiple things say, breach of contract, discrmination etc?.
Yes - you don't have to fill out a separate form for each claim
@thegroove2000 how did the claim against Morrison work out .I am helping someone against the same workplace
my tribunal ptsd brought me here ,i can tell u a trinunal horror story where my case management discussions where held in the back rooms where nobody can hear u scream .my 3 pretend cmds where over 27 months as they trying wear me out
@@blazinstars6660 don't let them make you give up. Did the same to me.
I would never go to a legal firm that displays that sign there on the wall above the drawers.
Good thing for you Valla isn’t a law firm 😊
What a strange thing to be upset about!
