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.

Example

Valla genuinely cared.

Legal fees can be overwhelming, but Valla’s legal coaching is a fraction of the cost of a solicitor. More than that, they genuinely cared.

Valla’s platform made organising my case simple.

I could upload my evidence, store my emails, and structure my discrimination claim with references to legal documents. For the first time, I felt in control.
