OP, might I suggest you've reached the stage where you need some across the table legal advice.

If I were you I would make an appointment with your local Citizens Advice Bureau. They should be able to give you free unbiased legal advice.

If you do arrange an interview take along with you what the grounds were for your original ET claim, i.e. why you think they owed you holiday pay. Plus, if you have them, your ex-employer's witness statements. These will indicate their defence to your claim.

On the basis of this one would hope the CAB advisor will be able to ascertain if you had a case to bring.

If you did, it is unlikely the judge will award a costs order against you. As said previously, costs orders are only really successful if one party went to ET with no chance of success, i.e. the judge thought the party was being malicious against the other party. The CAB should also be able to help you with preparing your case against a costs order.

A recent high profile example of an application for costs was in the Alan Sugar Apprentice ET case last February. Sugar applied for costs after winning the case but his application was rejected last month. This is despite the fact the original ET judge was of the opinion the case should never have been brought by the claimant.

Hi and thank you,

I did go to cab and they couldnt advise me and they didnt really know about costs applications.
they sent me a list of free.advice centers which could give 30 mins free advice and that was it.
