employment tribunal

I've been wondering how you've been getting on, seasider. Hope you get a favourable outcome next time.

Seasider you sound a lot less stressed now than you did earlier in the year.

Thanks everybody I do feel much less stressed about the whole scenario now , probably because DP has a job until at least the end of March. The oral hearing will be as far as we can take the process I think but i just feel we have to try, so fingers crossed. I actually ran into DP's ex-manager ( and supposed friend), who instigated all this trouble, just before Christmas. It was perhaps as well I was volunteering at a charity fundraiser or I could not have been responsible for my actions!!

seasider I know it's hard to persist, but I do admire you for it - even if you don't get the outcome you'd like and deserve I still think that for the sake of the principle you're right to keep on rattling the cage. [medal emoticon]

Thanks grannyactivist .will keep you posted !

Hi Seasider....yes I can offer some advice..especially about ACAS...beware of ACAS....I lost a considerable amount of money because of the inneficient way that my adviser behaved. Because my case was scheduled befrore the `bank` holiday the adviser said that she could not get in touch with me..because telephones were not invented in 2009 or computers or Royal Mail or any other means of communication and as always these organisations watch each others backs...don`t trusat ACAS[ANGRY]

Bonne chance!

Hi Seasider....extremely sorry you lost your case at ET...but now it`s over.. what I would be interested to know is...where were your friends at ACAS their representation for you....NEVER trust ACAS...employers friends..I am STILL[angry[at ACAS so called representation in my case...I would like to take ACAS on.

Hi Messenger I did not find ACAS very helpful and to be honest once things hotted up they backed out. I suspect their role is to try and dissuade people from going to tribunal to save money. Thanks for the good wishes everyone . We go to the oral hearing in May so will let you know the outcome.
