Employment Tribunal Preparation Guide
Summary
In an employment tribunal, regulations and case law can be referenced at any time, but its important to provide copies to the tribunal and the other party in advance. If dismissed for refusing unsafe work, it may be considered unfair dismissal. Document all communications, gather evidence, and prepare a detailed account of the incident. An opening statement should introduce yourself, state the purpose, summarize key facts, reference legal basis, and conclude with the desired outcome. If you lose the claim, you may need to pay the employers legal fees, which could be managed through an IVA. Legal expenses cover in car insurance might help with costs. Objections in court can be made for relevance, hearsay, speculation, or leading questions.Full Conversation

- Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations *
These regulations require employers to provide safe working conditions, including adequate emergency plans for confined spaces.
