IDS Practice and Procedure I: Employment Tribunals 2023

The IDS Employment Law Handbook ‘Practice and Procedure I: Employment Tribunals’ is an essential guide for those involved in cases before the employment tribunals in England, Wales and Scotland. It explains clearly and in detail how the employment tribunal system works, and how claims are presented, managed and heard. Topics covered in depth in this Handbook include employment tribunal jurisdiction; early conciliation, settlement agreements and alternative dispute resolution; time limits for bringing claims; the judicial sift; case management and preliminary hearings; deposit orders, unless orders and striking out; conduct of the hearing; reconsideration of employment tribunal judgments; enforcement of tribunal decisions; and the circumstances in which costs may be awarded against a party. The procedure for challenging employment tribunal decisions by way of appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal is considered separately in IDS Employment Law Handbook, ‘Practice and Procedure II: EAT’ (2023).
