Mock Employment Tribunal (Scotland) (face-to-face)
|
An interactive event which demonstrates how Scottish employment tribunals operate and how decisions are reached
Attending an employment tribunal can be a daunting prospect and the consequences of getting it wrong can be costly. The estimated cost to employers of defending a claim at employment tribunal is now around £10,000. Losing a claim may cost significantly more.
Join Acas and employment law experts, Shoosmiths, as we lead you through a complex ET involving misconduct, ill health and possible disability discrimination.
This interactive, informative and myth-busting event will give you the opportunity, within a safe environment, to see how an employment tribunal in Scotland operates and how decisions are reached.
Who is this best suited to?
Delegates from all sectors of work, including:
- line managers, supervisors and team leaders
- HR professionals
- business owners
- Trade Union/employee representatives
- individuals who wish to further their professional development
What will I learn from this training?
This event is designed to facilitate discussion and interaction. The event will cover:
- presenting a claim - the 'bundle'
- the importance of the employment tribunal forms
- alternatives to employment tribunal, including Acas conciliation, Acas settlements and COT3’s
- choosing witnesses
- the role of the judge and lay members
- preparing for the hearing
- giving evidence
- cross examination

As the evidence unfolds, you will observe tribunal practice including witness cross examination and be able to put questions to the solicitors while awaiting the judge’s verdict.
