Disiplinary hearing

Juneyggg

Oh sorry forgot to add, this was asked after the appeal hearing and on advice I said no,they previously had ample time but they kept dismissing it so I wasn't prepared to discuss it at this late stage

I haven't discussed this with anyone until the outcome,however it is at appeal part and I haven't been advised not to discuss.
As I have stated it was not a fair process,they didn't stick to acas procedures and I am not prepared to just accept it.

As I explained earlier, ACAS "statutory procedures" no longer exist, only guidelines. Failure to follow the guidelines will not, in itself, mean that you have a winnable case.

You may well valid grounds to claim unfair dismissal. You are being advised by your union, hopefully at a professional level and not just a lay rep. Be guided by them and concentrate on the valid points.

Some of the lay reps are more effective.

Hubby is an official for union and I couldn't use him hence the  top man

Well if your husband is a union rep and you are being advised by the "top man", I an not entirely sure what you hope to gain from posting here?

I wanted to check if anybody else had been through the same as me with a company not following guidelines etc, hope that satisfies you.

As has been posted above, a company is not obliged to follow the guidelines, and then choosing not to do so isn’t any sort of mark against them, or something that may help you “get off.”

You need to focus on the facts and the allegations, not any possible technical errors. It’s not a court of law, so there’s no “gotcha” through an imperfectly applied process.

Employers must follow a fair process, so how can not being able to answer the evidence they have a technicality as far as I am concerned I have a right to defend myself .
