Half Day

Do you have a hearing coming up at the Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT)? Have you already had one and want to be better prepared next time?

Description

What is this workshop about?
The Employment Appeals Tribunal can be intimidating for the uninitiated. It's procedures appear to be coming increasingly legalistic. Frequently parties are represented not only by solicitors but also senior barristers as well and participants who fail to prepare might as well prepare to fail, as the saying goes. This workshop is a realistic mock tribunal designed with employers and other witnesses in mind. It aims to give you an overview of EAT procedure, good practice as well as leading advice and guidance on how to best prepare for and conduct yourself during an EAT hearing.

What will I get out of this workshop?
You will gain confidence from observing or taking part in a mock tribunal case, chaired by an experienced lawyer. The workshop will allow you to prepare for the ‘live’ afternoon sessions, by studying ‘real’ applications and response forms and many background papers, with the support of experts.
