Why you need an Application for a Witness Order letter

If there’s a witness that’s crucially important to your case that hasn’t agreed to give you evidence, an Employment Tribunal Witness Order can get you the evidence you need.

You can use this letter template as a “last resort” to apply for a Tribunal Witness Order.

Examples of how an Employment Tribunal Witness Order can work

A Witness Order for Employment Tribunal can order a relevant witness to attend a hearing, as long as you clearly explain why that witness is necessary and why their attendance should be made compulsory. For example:

Example

Tamsin’s former colleague, Hannah, witnessed a key act of discrimination that Tamsin is complaining about in her Employment Tribunal claim.

Tamsin has asked Hannah to give evidence but hasn’t been able to get Hannah to commit to doing this.

Tamsin makes an application to the Tribunal for a Witness Order.

Example

Brian’s colleague, Florence, is a key witness in his case.

However, Florence has not replied to Brian’s messages to ask her to provide a witness statement.

Brian makes an application to the Tribunal for a Witness Order.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot

Excellent low-cost employment tribunal guidance

I have just won my employment tribunal case for unfair dismissal, and I'm not sure if I would have been able to do it without Valla! Katie and Danae were absolutely brilliant in helping me prepare for the tribunal, prepare certain documents, and help me to feel confident in my case! I would highly recommend Valla to anyone who is representing themselves in an employment tribunal case! 10/10 for me!

Valla are excellent

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.
