The foundation for a successful Tribunal claim

Helping you translate what happened into legal claims

A step-by-step guide through the process of translating issues into the language of legal claims, flagging important legal tests you need to consider.

New claim

Heading: What is this claim for?

Remember, you can make more than one claim for the same events. In fact, it’s very common in tribunal cases to bring multiple related claims. Once you finish this claim just add another.

Button: I've been discriminated against

Button: I've been targeted because I made or helped with a complaint

When to use the Application for Preliminary Hearing template

Use this where you need to apply for an Employment Tribunal Preliminary Hearing for any reason, other than in relation to strike outs or deposit orders (we have separate kits for these).

The purpose of the Preliminary Hearing will be to decide how the case is going to progress from there to a Final Hearing. During or at the end of the Preliminary Hearing, the Judge will let you know what is going to happen next. Sometimes you might have to wait for a few weeks after the hearing before you get the outcome.

Examples of when you would use an Application for Preliminary Hearing for your Employment Tribunal

You might want to apply for a Preliminary Hearing at the Employment Tribunal if you think there is an important issue that needs to be decided in your case before the Final Hearing. For example:

Example

Dana is making a claim for disability discrimination but her employer does not agree that she meets the legal definition of disability.

She applies to the Employment Tribunal for a Preliminary Hearing to decide whether she was disabled or not.

Example

Pavel is making a claim for unfair dismissal but his employer does not agree that he was dismissed - they say that his employment ended because he resigned.

Pavel applies to the Employment Tribunal for a Preliminary Hearing to decide whether he was dismissed or not.

Example

How you can prepare for a Preliminary Hearing

Once you’ve filled out your template with Valla, it’s best to know how you can prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. You should:

  1. create the template in Valla
  2. send the application letter or email to the Tribunal
  3. copy in the Respondent
  4. wait for the Tribunal to confirm whether or not a Preliminary Hearing is going to be listed
  5. gather any evidence that is relevant to the issue that needs to be decided at the Preliminary Hearing.
Example

Save time, reduce stress and ensure your claim has the best chance of success

What our customers say about us

If I didn’t get help from Valla, I couldn’t go forward with the case.

The confidence they gave me is beyond description.

Subhash

Valla are excellent

I genuinely believe they helped guide me to the best possible outcome for my specific circumstances. They are a choir of angels; I wouldn't have been able to consider going through the processes involved with my experience without their support.

Jayne

Valla has been a lifesaver for me

They are so helpful and on top of that, everyone has been so nice. I really felt that they emphasised with what I was going through. I will be using them from now until my tribunal issue is settled.
