Regarding the thread does the advisor have to prove it if anyone has any constructive advice that might be good..
My advisor said i didnt apply for enough jobs and i had a sanction in december even though it wasnt clear how many i should be applying for. He stated there were 200 jobs on UJ i could have gone for.
I asked him to prove it and he ignored me so i went and had a managers meeting yesterday to report advisor for not answering and he said the advisor does not have to provide proof?:eek:
I had been told by the decision makers he does have to evidence it but manager says no.
Who is right and why dosent he have to prove it. Manager just suggests i make an appeal to the tribunal. Its all on their side isnt it?

If the decision makers says he needs to prove it then how are they going to find in their favour without the proof?
They aren't, are they?

The DM decides appropriate action based on the above and advises the claimant accordingly. I believe that letter would also advise on how to appeal. Someone will probably be along to clarify that.0 -

Any previous OP?
the reasons for the sanction were not applying for enough jobs, in their opinion. I found as many as i could.
i still cant believe the advisor dosent have to provide evidence,
does this mean i can say something about the advisor and make something up like he said i had big breasts at my appt, but then when asked to prove it say i cant?
This would never ever happen in a court of law. Hopefully be overturned especially if i have two people saying different things?:footie:0 -

Do you have big breasts?0 -
A tribunal decision will be based on the balance of probabilities. Where evidence is contradictory the judge will decide which version of events is more believable.
How many jobs did you apply for? Did you do anything to compensate for the lack of vacancies, such as sending out speculative cv's or emailing agencies?0 -

You've still not said how many jobs you DID apply for that YOU can evidence. A point that's quite relevant as it adds context. So how many is 'as many as you could'?0 -
