  1. I agree do not let the time limit go by. I have some handy wording provided by my former solicitor which would allow you to tick the relevant boxes and state that you are making a claim for disability discrimination and failure to make reasonable adjustments but will provide the details later. If you use the wording, you get 14 days from the date of lodgement to provide the details of claim and the Respondent gets 28 days from the date you provide details to reply. As you are still employed this might be a more strategic and less antagonising approach? Let me know if you need the wording for the "details later" ET claim.
  2. I agree and so do a lot of other people. The 2 big U unions are just a front for a money making racket and nothing more. Time for the members to take over and kick these parasites out.
  3. I am confused by these dates. Were you terminated on April 8th or April 12th. Yesterday was July 5th so I cannot see the problem with 3 months less 1 day????
  4. They should have quit when they were ahead. I think you will win this one too.
  5. I managed to get some help from the organisation below. They assess your income less housing costs andyou might qualify. The quality of the advice on my employment problems was excellent and some of it can be done by phone. You might want to try it Community Legal Advice Community Legal Advice (CLA) is a free and confidential advice service in England and Wales paid for by legal aid.

  6. As your employment ended on June 19th 2012, you would be in time to make an Employment Tribunal claim. Also, if your income is low, you would be entitled to free legal advice from your local legal service. Your case is complex and the issues occurred over a long period of time. I suggest that you make a list of the incidents in date order from beginning to end and get an appointment with a solicitor as quickly as possible.
  7. "Out of Tme" was argued by the Respondent's barrister right up until the end of a 5 day hearing. It was hot air. The incidents in a discrimination case usually extend over a long period. Anthing that happens 3 month prior to lodging the ET claim can form the basis of the case and all that went before can be included as background. It is your solicitor's opinion that counts. I see that you are paying for legal representation yourself, that must be costly.
  8. I do not think we are permitted to recommend lawyers Sam.
  9. Done and dusted at last. Enjoy that cash as they owe you every penny!
  10. Same goes for Unite but there is a "grass roots" movement within the union and I think it is having some impact. Recently regional officer backed a pay cut for me and my colleagues, would you believe it?
  11. Dunno. Still waiting for the judgement after more than 6 weeks. The panel had their second discussion amongst themselves 2 weeks ago but still not joy. I did not expect this sort of delay but it is common. Still pretty sure that I have lost because of judge bias. Fanx fur arsking Professional:wink:
  12. I would not consider meeting them or putting myself out to help "the client" in any way until they have paid up.
  13. I would be wary of meeting them at all before the money is paid.
  14. You can always offer to make a written submission and answer questions by e-mail. That way you have fulfilled the co-operation bit without putting yourself out too much. Good luck with ACAS.
