- Reference specific instances where the respondent failed to comply with tribunal directions.
- Highlight any favorable judgments that support your case.

Dear [Employer/Respondent Name],
Re: Costs Warning
I am writing to formally notify you of my intention to seek costs in relation to the ongoing employment tribunal proceedings. This decision is based on the following grounds:
- Unreasonable Behavior: Instances where you have unreasonably failed to comply with tribunal directions, causing unnecessary delays and obstructing the proceedings.

- Dishonesty: Misleading the Employment Tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal, and the Court of Appeal, as acknowledged by [specific reference, such as Lord Justice's apology].

- Evidence of Disability: Despite your claim, a favorable judgment from a previous Employment Tribunal has confirmed my disability status during the relevant employment period.

- Rejected Offer: My reasonable offer made prior to the hearing on * May * regarding my disability status was unreasonably rejected.
This matter has been excessively prolonged since *, and I believe your actions have contributed significantly to this delay. I urge you to reconsider your stance and resolve this matter efficiently.
Please be aware that I will submit a similar request to the Employment Tribunal to strike out the case based on the above points.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]

Dear Tribunal Members,
Re: Request to Strike Out Case
I am writing to formally request that the current employment tribunal case be struck out based on the following grounds:
- Unreasonable Behavior: The respondent has repeatedly failed to comply with tribunal directions, causing unnecessary delays.

- Dishonesty: Instances of misleading the tribunal and other courts, as noted during appeals.

- Disability Evidence: A previous tribunal ruling confirmed my disability status during the relevant employment period, which the respondent continues to contest without valid grounds.
Given the prolonged nature of this case, I request the tribunal to consider my application to strike out the respondent’s case due to their unreasonable and obstructive behavior.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]

Case Rating: *
It sounds like you're dealing with a complex employment tribunal matter involving claims of unreasonable behavior and dishonesty. Your efforts to draft a costs warning letter are crucial. If the respondent's lack of engagement led to delays, it's a valid point to include in your letter.
PLSE LET ME KNOW HOW THE RESP NON RESPONSE RESULTED IN DELAYS IN THE ISSUE OF MOVING THE DATE OF THE HEARING?

The respondent's non-response may have caused delays in moving the date of the hearing due to the following reasons:
- The Employment Tribunal may require responses from all parties to make informed decisions.
- Lack of timely communication can lead to delays in proceedings and scheduling.
- The Tribunal might have waited for a response before deciding on the date, causing a delay.
If the respondent's lack of engagement is persistent, it can be highlighted as part of their unreasonable behavior in your costs warning letter.
THE RESP SHOULD HAVE AGREED TO CHANGING THE DATE WHEN I WROTE TO ET AND COPIED THE RESPONDENT. MY SUBMISSION WAS VERY STRONG - IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A STRIKE OUT AS WELL.
Case Rating: *
Given the complexities and the respondent's behavior, it's understandable that you feel the case should be struck out. The lack of response leading to delays can indeed be highlighted as unreasonable behavior. You seem well-prepared, and emphasizing these points in your letters should strengthen your position.

Case Rating: *

FIRST I NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TOOK PLACE AND HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THIS RESP COULD FULLY CONTROL WHEN THE ET JUDGMENT WAS TO BE SENT TO ME. WHAT IS THIS?
Case Rating: *
It sounds like you're dealing with a complex scenario involving possible delays in judgment delivery. In employment tribunals, once a decision is made, the tribunal typically sends it to both parties. If the respondent influenced this process, it may be worth addressing as part of your case for unreasonable behavior.
BUT WHAT PART DOES ET PLAY IN ALL THIS?
Case Rating: *
The Employment Tribunal (ET) plays a crucial role in adjudicating disputes between employees and employers. They are responsible for handling the proceedings, making judgments, and ensuring fair process. If the ET's decision delivery was delayed or influenced by the respondent, it might be worth exploring further as part of your claim. Do you have any evidence or correspondence indicating such influence by the respondent?
THE RESP HAD PRE PLANNED HOW THEY AND/OR ET WERE GOING TO TIME ALL OF THIS. JUST BECAUSE THE WRONG DECISION MADE BY THIS ET SAYING I WASS NOT DISABLED WAS REBUTTED BY A SUNBSEQU JUGEMENT IN ANOTHER ET IN SEPT * SAYING I WAS DISABLED WHILE I WAS EMPLOYED WITH THIS EMPLOYER AND THE NEXT ONE.
Case Rating: *
It seems you have a complex employment tribunal case involving allegations of unreasonable behavior and manipulation by the respondent. Here are a few points that might be useful:

If you need further assistance or feel this situation requires legal representation, consider consulting a solicitor for tailored guidance.
CAN YOU SHED SOME LIGHT ON - CAN THIS RESPONDENT CONTROL THE ET ACTIONS?
Case Rating: *
In general, respondents should not control Employment Tribunal actions. Tribunals are meant to operate independently, making decisions based on evidence and legal principles. If you suspect any undue influence or manipulation, it may be worth gathering evidence to support your claim and addressing it formally in your submissions. Have you considered reaching out to a legal professional for advice on this matter?

Case Rating: *
Certainly! Here's a section you might consider including in your letter to strengthen your argument regarding the respondent's unreasonable behavior:
---
Manipulation and Delay Tactics
I wish to bring to your attention the respondent's repeated manipulation and delay tactics throughout the proceedings. This includes:
- Postponing the preparation of the bundle until November, coinciding with the judgment release, which further obstructs the progress of the case.
- Ignoring correspondence and requests for necessary documents, causing significant delays.
- Refusing to acknowledge and address the conflicting judgment regarding my disability status from another tribunal.
These actions have caused undue stress and prolonged the resolution of this matter, which could have been settled efficiently and fairly. I urge consideration of these points in evaluating the respondent's behavior.

Feel free to adapt this section to your specific situation and provide any additional evidence or documentation you have. If you need further assistance, please let me know!
IS THIS FOR STRIKE OUT OR COSTS
Case Rating: *
The section provided can be used for both a strike-out request and a costs warning. It highlights the respondent's unreasonable behavior and manipulation tactics, supporting both actions. For a costs warning, emphasize the financial implications of the delays. For a strike-out, focus on the obstruction of justice.
IN THE EAT JUDGMENT ALL THE ERRORS I FOUND IN OCT/NOV * - IS THE RESPOND RESPONS FOR THESE AND THE TEXT THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND WHICH THE RESP REFUSED TO REPLY TO ME ABOUT ITS PROVENANCE. AFTER A LONG DELAY THEY SAID ITS IN THE EAT JUDGMENT AND PART OF MY GROUND OF APPEAL. THIS IS COM INCORRECT AS MY GROUNDS OF APPEAL DID NOT CONTAIN THIS TEXT. SO THE RESP HAS REFUSED TO PROVIDE THE ANSWER TO THIS AND ITS IN THE C OF APPEAL ORDER WHICH HAS ERRORS IN IT.
Case Rating: *
It seems you have a complex situation involving errors in the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) judgment and its connection to your grounds of appeal. Here are some general pointers:
- Tribunals and courts should provide clear and accurate judgments.
- If there are errors in the judgment, you may request clarification or correction.
- Consider formally addressing these discrepancies in your submissions.
Have you already raised these errors with the tribunal or court in writing?
YES, I RAISED ALL EAT ERRORS IN C OF APPEAL AND ASKED FOR STRIKE OUT, BUT IT LOOKS AS IF C OF APPEAL DID NOT ADDRESS THIS REQUEST BUT INSTEAD AN ORDER WAS SENT DONE IN A GREAT HURRY.

Dear Tribunal Members,
Re: Request for Explanation on Disposal of Judge's Notes
I am writing to express my concern regarding the disposal of notes by the EAT judge related to my outstanding ground of appeal at the Court of Appeal. It has come to my attention that these notes were crucial for understanding the reasons provided by the Rule *-* judge for allowing this ground of appeal to proceed.
Despite notifying the EAT immediately of my intention to appeal their decision, I find it perplexing that such essential documentation was disposed of. These notes were intended to guide the EAT judge in comprehending the grounds for proceeding with the appeal, as clearly instructed by the Rule *-* judge.
I kindly request an explanation of why these notes were disposed of and urge consideration of the procedural importance they held in my case. Transparent handling of court documents is vital for ensuring fair proceedings and appeals.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]

CAN I USE THIS NEW EVID TO SHOW COF APPEAL THAT MY REM GROUND OF APPEAL MUST BE ALLOWED - AS IT IS ALSO PART OF THE GROUND THE C OF APPEAL DID ALLOW. ITS TO DO WITH ADMISSIBILITY OF MY SUPP IMPACT STATEMENT. THE EAT CAME UP WITH A COMPLETELY NEW/RANDOM REASON THAT IT WAS A CASE MANAGEM DECIS THAT ET REFUSED TO ALLOW THIS DOC. BUT THIS REASON IS NOT USED BY THE RULE *-* JUDGE. SO THERE IS A CLEAR CONFLICT BERTWEEN JUDGES IN THE EAT AND I AM NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON, OR WHY THIS DECISION WAS GIVEN. NO DOUBT THE RESP IS ALSO CONTROLLING THE EAT.
Case Rating: *
You can use new evidence to support your remaining ground of appeal. Highlight the conflict between the judges and the admissibility of your supplemental impact statement. This evidence can be crucial in showing procedural errors or inconsistencies. Consider formally presenting this evidence in your appeal submissions to the Court of Appeal. If you need further guidance, feel free to ask!
OK, GREAT. FIRST I WILL WRITE TO RESPOND RE. COSTS AND CEASE THIS MATTER. AND TO ET, THEN TO EAT AND POSS C OF APPEAL, DEPENDING ON EAT REPLY.
