Remote hearings for Employment Tribunals have grown more common recently. Use an Application for Hearing to Take Place in a Different Format letter when you want to change the format of a hearing, for example if you need a virtual/hybrid Employment Tribunal instead of having it be in-person.
Generally, to change the format of your Employment Tribunal hearing, you would need to apply to the Tribunal. The reasons could include, for example, medical reasons such as a positive Covid test where you would need a remote or hybrid hearing.
Robbie has tested positive for Covid and can’t give evidence at an in-person hearing as originally planned.
Amarjeet, who is the Claimant in the case, makes an application to the Tribunal for the hearing to be held on a hybrid basis, so that Robbie can give his evidence by video link.
Lesley is due to attend her Employment Tribunal hearing remotely.
However, she does not have a private space at home where she will not be interrupted. She makes an application to the Tribunal to ask that the hearing be held in person.
