What More Can I do To Help My Son?

Chr1sH

I just want to add a bit of news we received today ....

Letter dated 20th December 2013
Dear Sir

Mr H V Tesco Stores Limited

In accordance with rule 30 of the employment tribunals (constitution and rules of procedure) regulations 2013, please find enclosed a copy of an email sent today to the Employment tribunal on behalf of the respondent, the content of which is self explanatory.

If you have any objection to this correspondence, please raise it to the tribunal as soon as possible.

Dear Sirs

Mr H V Tesco Stores Limited
Claim number 2302135/2012/F

We write further to the tribunal judgement on this matter which was received by the respondents representative on 18th December 2013. The tribunal has given the parties 14 days from 17th Deecember to try and concllude the matter without a remedy hearing. It is our view that givn it is the start of the Christmas period, it will not be possibe tto have a meaningful dsicussions regarding settlement over the next 14 days, partly as the solicitor who has had continuous dealings with this matter is currently out of the office and ill only be in tthe office on one day before 2nd January 2013 (although I'm sure they means 2014) and the relivant ACAS conciliator dealing with this matter is out of the office until Monday 6th Januarry 2014.

Given that the decision was sent to tthe parties just before the Christmas period on 17th December 2013 we request that the parties are givven an additional 14 days from th 2nd January 2014 to explore settlement before a remedy hearing is listed on this matter.

We confirm that the claimant has been sent a copy of this email in accordance with rule 30.

Squiresaunders

When we received the judgement from the employment tribunal, we responded on 19th December that we will not be dealing with the respondent, partly due to their conduct before, leading up to, during and since the employment tribunal.

Hello again,

I'm not too sure if I'm allowed to post links on here, but I just wanted to post this one regarding my sons case. I hope that reading this will encourage all those who have been victims of discrimination, to fight those who are discriminating. The main advice is that my sons case didn't have merit, we knew this was not the case. I am going to be writing the complete judgement down, but its 130 ages, so will take some time. When remedies are known, we will also be posting these. If this is the wrong place to post this link then I hope someone will post it where they feel it could help someone who is experiencing the as our son did. Thank you.

P.s. just tried to post the link but received a message saying as a new user I can't :0( if someone could advise me as to how I can get this message, so that it is available to Joe Public please let me know.

Well done! Good to read all what happened. You should be very proud.

Did the union ever step back in and help?

Thank you take away addict. I am very proud of my son standing up against these people

Did the Union help. NO, not at all. His union representative belonged o USDAW and was proven to lie while giving evidence. I really hope that she gets done for perjury and that the union take action at the very least, although I doubt the latter.

facebook c o m / tescoetsuccess.judgement.5 not too sure if this is any better?

Not too sure if anyone can offer any advice regarding a remedy hearing i.e. how many days shall we request, what do we have to cover, how does it have to be presented by any chance?

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Chr1sH

I have to admit we knew the union were acting a bit strange because as soon as they knew ACAs had been informed and an ET1 had been submitted and what it contained, they withdrew completely. Considering my son has been paying a monthly subscription for 7 years, once the chips were down and he needed them, they did not want to know. I cannot believe that this is the way his representative behaved.

I've just read through this thread, well done it was quite a battle against the odds. Hopefully your son can now get back to doing the job he enjoys without interference.

I've had a look on Facebook, and assume this is the link?

cheers

Chr1sH

Thank you very much and yes that it the link. I have 130 page to do and I'm only up to page 27, so it's going to take a long time to get everything down, but I will do it :0)

Chr1sH

I can understand why you say it was a battle against the odds by looking at this thread, but have you read the judgement so afr and do you still think that?

Chr1sH

By the way I'm his mother and I represented him. As I was aware of everything I didn't doubt it for a minute, until of course a solicitor told me it lacked merit and was I sure of what I was taking on. Of course I wasn't aware of how awful things would get, but I knew the facts. I just hope that after recommendations (and yes I do know that the ET can't enforce anything), but hopefully if recommendations are made Tesco will seriously think about taking them on board.

Hi yes I've read most of what you have put up so far. That is what I meant about a battle against the odds. Several managers and a barrister up against your son and you. It didn't help their case that their story was inconsistent. I particularly liked the bit where they preferred your son's version of the interview, including the date, to that of the hr manager.

I'm not an expert on tribunals, but I have spent my life working with people who have disabilities and it is good to see someone come through, although a cautionary point would be it isn't over yet!
