Employment Tribunal Advice Please

Very easily. My most recent Tribunal fee was £925!

I gained reemployment quite quickly so did mitigate my losses (although I did have to relocate for employment). Your last point didn't occur to me until now, but makes complete sense and puts things into perspective.
Sorry don't know how to reply to each post. This is to BB.

Apologies if I have missed it, but what (if any) professional advice have you had about the likely value of your claim always assuming you win?

I have had no legal advice about the value of the claim. I am aware of vento bands and am claiming for 6 seperate acts of detriment caused by a public interest disclosure. 2 serious (including my dismissal) the others no very serious.

My evidence is very thorough, and they haven't really been able to provide anything to counter it.

In 2 preliminary hearings, they have left red faced as they were badly prepared.

They not have a more senior assosicate dealing with the case who seems better organised but to me they do not have a case.

In the email that they sent initially asking me to settle, they gave their opinion on the case and the flaws therein. They ignored the biggest pieces of evidence, such as the call recordings of my disclosures, and didn't pass comment on them.

No I'm not legally trained. But I have a good case. And if it's a case of settling for brass buttons, then I would rather take them all the way just so that their illegal practices are out there. Petty I know. But they really are a terrible company that have put, and continue to to put the safety of staff and public in danger.

Not that the tribunal is about I know. But I have had this torture for the last 18 months and I won't give up for nothing.

If this company is putting staff and public in danger, then given that you must have reported them to some regulatory authority, why has this not been acted upon?

If you wanted to expose the company, going to an employment tribunal is not the way to do it. A more logical route would be to inform the appropriate regulatory authority and get the press involved.

I don't think the company is taking you seriously. If I was MD of a company endangering staff and public, I would not want to be found out and would be offering you a large amount to settle.

Although I would usually urge anyone to settle out of court, it would seem that here it may not be the moral thing to do, as their wrongdoings might not be publicised. However not many ET cases receive publicity, so even if you have your day(s) in court, it may not attract any publicity.

There are two further points :

1. You say you have a good case, better to say you believe you have a good case. I have destroyed many so-called "good cases" in tribunals (not employment, though).

2. Do you have actual evidence of occasion(s) of the company endangering the safety of staff and (more especially) public?

I have evidence of my reporting it to them, and evidence of them ignoring it and allowing it to continue. I have evidence of my reporting it to the regulatory body on 2 occasions.

It is true, the certainly did underestimate me. They didn't believe that I had the proof and they didn't believe that the case would get this far in my opinion.

So the regulatory body has done nothing?

Yes. This practice has now stopped. As well as another similar one that was reported at the time by another manager. They received a very substantial fine (6 figures) for the other matter.

It was big in the press at the time as would this be if it got out. They are FTSE 100
