    I think I watch to much of Judge Judy :)
    I think that from what they did is obvius that they lied to harm the employee.

    I can hear her telling 'don't tell what's obvious, what obvious to you is not obvious to me'.

    OP, please appreciate that very clever people don't go to law school for many years to learn what you seem to think you can learn better in a few weeks.

    Do you really think that you would get so many posters telling you that your case is going nowhere if indeed you were showing to have a strong case?

    When is her NMC Revalidation date? When did she go on maternity leave?

    Exactly how many prep hours has she done in total and can you evidence this?

    To be clear she has to of done 450 in the last 3 years has she done 450 hours in the last 3 years in total?

    I believe the OP can act as Lay Rep as long as his wife is present at the tribunal



    I think we are at cross purposes. I completely agree that anyone can represent anyone at the ET. I have seen many a "car crash" unfold in this manner.


    What I was referring to was legal privilege. A lawyer's advice to his client is generally covered by legal privilege in that it is not disclosable to the other side or the Court/Tribunal. Otherwise what's the point seeking advice? OP was suggesting that legal advice from legal advisors to the employer was disclosable as it was copied to other people. This does not waive legal privilege to my knowledge, but obviously I only know 3% of the story here so suggested leaving this to the employer and their lawyers to argue.

    Apologies I see what you mean. When you said the other side questioning it - I simply assumed you meant in regards to being heard.


    I see exactly what you mean

    2000 in 3 years??? That's a very high figure - has she been studying full time? What is that made up with?

    Yes, unlike most courts, you do not need to be legally qualified to represent somebody at an employment tribunal.

    Whether it is wise to do so is another matter!

    A point of clarification.

    In the Employment Tribunal, there are no restrictions. Anyone can represent anyone.

    In the county courts small claims track only, a lay rep can represent if the person is present.

    In other courts, lay people can't represent.

    She has "to of done...". I think OP has enough problems expressing themselves in English without being confused further.


    Is that really making things clear?

    It's not.

    37.5 hours X lets say 40 weeks a year = 1500 hours a year

    1500 x 3 - 4500 hours in 3 years.

    Has she got 35 hours of CPD?

    So, why are they saying they can't revalidate her then? What are their exact reasons?

    8. Can I choose my confirmer to sign off my revalidation?
    Yes, though the NMC strongly recommends that this should be your line manager, even if they are not an NMC-registered midwife/nurse. If there is no line manager, wherever possible, choose an NMC-registered individual as your confirmer. The NMC says that, if there is no line manager and no access to an NMC registrant, another regulated healthcare professional would suffice. This might be a dietician, social worker, or occupational therapist. If this is not possible, a confirmer could come from a list of other professionals that includes a judge, MP, barrister, and fi re service official. But the NMC warns that if a confirmer is chosen from this list (see ‘More information’ box for a link to a list of appropriate confirmers), you are more likely to be required to provide further information as part of the verification process. The five reflections must be discussed with an NMC registrant.


    What have the NMC said?

    2000 is on the high side if she's been on maternity leave which op says she's been.

    I know it's difficult to make sense of op but in one post he said they manager said it was unsafe for her to renew with NBC. I'm guessing there's more to this than the op recognises.
