Claim submitted...there's an option to download the claim form after submitting but on it is blank for claim details/particulars as I instead uploaded a more comprehensive sheet with the claim details on.

I'm assuming despite the uploaded file not being on the claim form I downloaded it will be sent to the defendant......?

    A bit of context would be helpful. What sort of claim? Uploaded where?

    I suggest you talk to a solicitor, not ask strangers online for questionable advice as you appear a bit clueless on how to make a claim. Do you even know what you're doing?

    There are times when proper legal advice is required, however, that usually comes at a cost. Employment claimants have been quoted between £4k and £12k in addition to the £1,200 ET fee. The ET is geared towards unrepresented claimants for a reason, if, say, you were employed on minimum wage, you could hardly be expected to pay for legal representation.

    There is also the need to beat the clock, if your claim is so much as a day out of time it will be rejected.

    It is possible to get pro-bono legal representation for ET claims but you need to move fast and start looking even before you are dismissed, while you are being investigated, etc.

    Forums like these are here to help people who can't afford to pay solicitors, otherwise I'm sure everyone is capable of googling local firms offering employment advice.

    Well that's one hell of a presumptuous comment. For starters my claim is submitted, legal advice was sought and acas process followed.
    My query relates to procedural advice not legal advice ie how they deal with files attached instead of writing in the claim details box

    May I suggest you wind your neck in if your post represents the quality of your input on this board.
  • Would it not be better to keep the posts all under one thread Arcon?

    I submitted a claim around this time last year and there was also a separate sheet with the particulars of the claim rather than just writing them in the box, this is quite common and my claim was actually submitted by a solicitor representing me.

    Have you got another thread about this matter as suggested above?
