    I'm getting legal advice at lunchtime. I will probably just sign it, I need the money as my new job doesn't start until 5/3....but I'd love to take them to a tribunal and see how they like that 
    From what you've said I don't see any reason to think you would be successful at a tribunal.

    Given what you have said in the other thread (linked by born_again) I really think getting involved in an ET claim is the last thing you need!

    Honestly? Move on.....

    There is literally nothing you’ve posted in this thread that indicates you’d have any success at tribunal. I‘m sorry you were bullied and they’re a crap employer but being a crap employer isn’t unlawful. 

    Take the money and run.

    Anything I post is solely MY OPINION. It never constitutes legal, financial or collective bargaining advice. I may tell you based on information given how I might approach an employment dispute case, but you should always seek advice from your own Union representative. If you don't have one, get one!

    Thank you

    That is a fair assessment of the situation.

    You've obviously never attended a hearing at an ET. If they employ a lawyer, you'd be tied in knots and made to look an absolute idiot (I've yet to see a lay person survive the process unscathed, let alone triumphant) - and if the local press are having a quiet day and report the case, it won't be the employer who is struggling to find a new job...
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
