Hello,
I'm just looking to see who has taken a discrimination case to an employment tribunal, including completing the ET1 form, without legal help and were successful?
I just need to know that I can do this, I can be successful without spending money I don't have on legal help. I would love to hear your stories, and if you felt happy to disclose whether you settled beforehand and if you were happy with the amount you received.
Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome
I hope this person doesnt mind the tag but she went through this and got to date for pre trial hearing when company settled out of court @cupcake88 can you share
Mist people do it without legal help as there is no funding for this
I have knowledge of employment law and have sat in tribunals from company side so if u can help in any way just ask -
@Jooles92 hi I have many times represented people in employment tribunals and not always gone to the tribunal and have dine my own tribunal
As long as when you fill in the tribunal form that you have put down everything that has happend directly and indirectly explain the situation in full
You will also need to put what out come you would expect to happen if you were to win your case
Once you have filled in the form and double checked you have put everything down send the form off and you will be sent a response and they will tell you your next steps
You don't have to tell your employer but once the tribunal accept your case your employer will then be notified he will have a choice wether to settle out of court or carry on with tribunal
If the case goes to tribunal your role will be to answer questions that the tribunal judge asks you that you will have to be truthful about also your employer may want to ask you questions or their representative also if there are witnesses to events that have accured whilst at work
You can claim for loss of earnings if related to the case you can claim for the situation that has accured in work and you can claim for hurt feelings you will need to think of a figure you think you should be paid if you win the case or you can ask the tribunal as your representing yourself to do that for you
The decision is normsly made the same day in the tribunal snd also what the employer needs to do to make things better for you in work if you wish to remain in your job
The tribunal are very good and help to put you at your ease if you are a confident person when speaking its a good thing its not hard to do it by yourself but it depends on each individual hope this helps ?
