    In School we learn that Great Britain (GB) is made up of England, Wales and Scotland. However, I have not head of an Employment Appeal Tribunal of Great Britain (GB) but I have heard about an employment Appeal Tribunal of England and Wales and one of Scotland.

    Moreover, if the Employment Appeal Tribunal of Scotland can stay several claims and appeals which are in the Employment Tribunals and in Employment Appeal Tribunals of England and Wales, we will be in an awkward situation because none of these claims and appeals would be in Scotland.

    Furthermore, in case I make an appeal, I may have to attend hearings in Scotland even though I do not live in Scotland and I live far away from it

    You clearly haven't read or understood anything in the various links I have sent you.

    I urge you to seek professional legal advice.

    Another evidence why the Employment Appeal Tribunal  of England and Wales is a different jurisdiction that the Employment Appeal Tribunal of Scotland is that England and Wales and Scotland are different jurisdictions with different legal systems. And, this is confirmed by the fact they have different chief legal advisor because the chief legal advisor for the UK government in England and Wales is the Attorney General and the chief legal advisor for the  Scottish Government is the Lord Advocate.

    As nobody here can confirm your opinion, you need to get legal advice rather trying to convince strangers who volunteer on an internet forum.

    Irrespectively of whether or not the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England and Wales and the Employment Appeal Tribunal of Scotland are different jurisdictions, I find strange that if I want to make an appeal against the staying of my claim which is in England I have to make an appeal to the Court of Session of Scotland and I may have to travel to Scotland to attend an hearing about my appeal even though my appeal is in England and I am myself living in England

    Op, take or leave what I'm going to say. I have been through a few ET's and if well prepared the lay person can navigate the process to varying degrees of success.  However I will put my hand up and suggest going to EAT, I would most certainly get competent representation and I accept this may be easier said than done.

    We speak about the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England and Wales and we speak separately of the Employment Appeal Tribunal of Scotland. However, we do not speak separately of the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England, of this of Wales and of this of Scotland. We say the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England and Wales. This means that the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England is linked to the Employment Appeal Tribunal of Wales and as a consequence we can say that the Employment Appeal Tribunal of Wales is the same as this of England. However, we cannot say the same thing concerning the Employment Appeal tribunal of Scotland and we do not say the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England, Wales and Scotland. There is a link between the Employment Appeal Tribunal of Wales and this of England and it why we say the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England and Wales. However, there is not such a link between the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England and of this of Scotland. Great Britain is made up of three parties England, Wales and Scotland. Hence, if the Employment Appeal Tribunal of Scotland was really the same Employment Appeal Tribunal as this of England and Wales, there is no reason why we would not say the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England, Wales and Scotland instead of saying the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England and Wales and the Employment Appeal Tribunal of Scotland. Moreover, there is an office of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in London which is the capital of London and another in Edinburgh which is the capital of Scotland. However, there is no office in Cardiff which is the capital of Wales and even though Cardiff is also far away from London. Furthermore, when we issue an appeal at the Employment Appeal Tribunal, we are given an appeal number and if the appeal is issued in the Employment Appeal Tribunal of Scotland this number contains the term SCO in the middle.

    I would like to add that we hear about the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England and Wales but we do not hear about the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England and Scotland because the Employment Appeal Tribunal of England and this of Wales are the same jurisdiction but this of England and this of Scotland are not the same jurisdiction
