Offered Compromise Agreement - redundancy/unfair dismissal/sex discrimination case

[Pusillanimous]

As in "I believe that xyz will try to paint a picture of a money hungry ogre but as you can see from the evidence provided this was clearly a case of unfair dismissal"

 

OR

 

"As I will demonstrate throught the evidence provided this was clearly a case of unfair dismissal"

 

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE AND NOT A TERRIBLE EXAMPLE OF AN OPENING STATEMENT!!!

 

You cannot know what their defence will be on the day as a skilled counsel will play it close to their chest. You can get a clue form their list of issues, though. Were you to say "The other party intend to show me as a money-digging ogre" and on the day their tactic is, "She resigned due to the fact she found another job" (fictional example, as I do not know the details of your case) you will look as though you have poor judgment.

 

I should look up the statutory meaning of "unfair dismissal" and use this to explain why you fit that statute.

Mitigating evidence - how much information do I have to include??

 

Calls to agents?? Visits to job centers? Calls to friends/family?? Actual applications?

 

I obviously want to prove I've been looking but only so much of the evidence has been actual application. Anyone got some sort of guide of what is and isn't needed??

Anything and everything is needed.

 

I once had a mitigation bundle run to 600 pages!

[dmlferguson]

Thanks. Should I do it in diary form to include calls etc and then add emails and applications as evidence?

[dmlferguson]

At CMD I was told to keep all records of application etc. So from then on I have everything but before that date its really sketchy. Should I just add what I've got???

 

Help got to get it in by tomorrow.
