my sister is taking her ex employer to tribunal for equal oppertunities discrimanation?

Question

does anyone have any advice for her

Answer 1

Hard to give advice when you don't say what the basis for the case is. How does she know it was an equal opportunities issue?

If she doesn't have the evidence, it will end up costing her a lot.

Answer 2

Yes...be careful and be prepared. Use a specialist that handles these sort of caseses only and not any solicitor...what is she hoping to achieve?...does she want money out of it.?..does she want to close the company down? how did they discriminate against her? has she taken all possibilities into account? is she more capable or as capable as others? what was the specific act of discrimination and how did it affect her? Be prepared to be able to answer all of these questions as a starting point spending some time in on each question without any stuttering...otherwise good luck as u will need it.

Answer 3

Go for it, stand up for your rights. Just remember that you have to have proof that you were discriminated against. You might think it was sexist that you were not promoted when it could be any number of other things. You might not have enough experience or been aggressive with someone in the office or maybe you were late too often. Who knows. Be very sure before you bring a case like this.

Answer 4

Tell us the facts and then I may be more inclined to believe that she is not just another person who is looking for a pay off because she has reached the limit of her ability.

Answer 5

I would say, stick to your guns and dont be intimidated by the court proceedure. Stay focused on the points you have to raise and the impact the employer has had on you due to the discrimination you suffered.

Answer 6

I say 2 her go for, it and I for one is proud of her.
