Hi

Thanks for your posts all that have posted. I turned down the offer before reading SarEl's post. I have since heard back from their solicitors and they are seeking a PHR to be held on the date of the original tribunal which is the 6th October, they have also re offered me the £500 until 5pm today. Does this mean they are not so sure they will win? They are threatening costs against me but from what I have read on a .gov website this would be highly unlikely as really only stands for unreasonable behaviour. Your input is most welcome and appreciated.

Thanks

Priesty

Hi OP,

Is your ACAS conciliator not involved here? Negotiate! By all means ask them for more time so you can consider their offer and get your ACAS conciliator involved, if that's not already the case. You can negotiate a settlement any time before the hearing and really your ACAS conciliator should be helping you to reach a settlement, if that's what you want. £500 is their starting point, so surely you can build on that through negotiation.
