Happens all too often I'm afraid.
However it does give you the opportunity to get some proper advice on the merits (or otherwise) of your case.

Whilst costs are frequently threatened by the employer's lawyers they are not awarded all that often. But it can and does happen. Generally you would need to do far more than "just lose" for there to be any likelihood of cost being awarded against you. If you do continue to go it alone, then listen very carefully for any warnings / hints from the judge. It would be very unusual for an award to be made against a litigant in person unless they ignored the warnings or behaved totally unreasonably.

But, get some proper advice...... 

Thank you so so much. I am seeing a solicitor & at least for now the pressure is off.
