    feeling suicidal because of work

    Feeling suicidal because of work?

    30 June 2023

    Every year it is estimated that between 5,500 and 6000 people in Britain take their own lives. Life for many people is difficult and it is an unrealistic fallacy to expect those people to leave their troubles at the door when they come into work. Little surprise then that the suicide of a colleague or […]

    I have ADHD and am being discriminated against in the workplace

    28 June 2023

    I am by no means an expert on neurodiversity and I can only draw on my own experience of advising clients how to navigate work related issues which arise by reason of or connected to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).  I have clients come to me to say that they are struggling to get their […]

    This is a blog about my beautiful niece Sofia, who is now an Olympian champion. Why am I writing about her – well Sofia has Downs syndrome and this week competed in the Special Olympics World Games in Berlin representing Norway in Rhythmic Gymnastics. She won two golds, three silver and one bronze medal in her […]

    Disability discrimination

    What is disability discrimination in the workplace?

    23 June 2023

    Disability discrimination in the workplace is where someone who has a disability as defined in section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 is subjected to adverse or detrimental treatment because of their disability. Special protections are enshrined in law to protect disabled people from poor treatment at work but sadly this does not mean that […]

    All will be revealed – disclosure in the Employment Tribunal

    22 June 2023

    I’ve written recently about the importance of witness statements in the Employment Tribunal and disclosure is no less important. The documents relevant to the case are disclosed (shown to one another) by both parties and form the basis of the final agreed bundle which is placed in front of the Employment Judge and panel (if […]

    Can a compromise agreement waive future claims?

    21 June 2023

    In March 2023 an Employment Tribunal (ET) struck out the claimant’s claims in Clifford v IBM ET 3302436-2022. It gave two reasons: (1) that the discrimination claims had been compromised by a 2013 compromise agreement between the parties; and (2) on the basis that in their view neither the unlawful deduction of wages nor any […]

    can my case be struck out

    Can my case be struck out because of an error by my legal representative? It might.

    20 June 2023

    The Court of Appeal has ruled in Phipps v Priory Education Services Ltd that the Employment Tribunal got it wrong when they refused a Claimant’s application for reconsideration of a decision to strike out her claim. The facts of this case are (thankfully) somewhat exceptional and make uncomfortable reading I suspect for most lawyers. Mrs […]

    Drafting A Witness Statement – Where to Start?

    14 June 2023

    As a litigant in person the entire employment tribunal process can be daunting and overwhelming. The legal jargon, the hearings, the deadlines, need I go on. You can be bamboozled by disclosure, documents flying around everywhere and not really knowing what you should be doing, what documents you should be receiving and what a tribunal […]
