👋 Heads up!
I am not a lawyer nor do I claim to be. This is advice based on my own experience representing myself in a gruelling 11 day trial with a cumulative 14 days in court and a full 2 years from case commencement to Remedy award. Read more about my case here: www.thetimes.c...
Valuable information. Sorry you had to go through all that. Respect to you for going for justice over £s. Thank you!
Thank you 😊
YOU ARE AWESOME! Thanks for your video. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
That's exactly my thought: It is about justice, naming and shaming them! They've been coming back with some figures & I've been turning down purely on the grounds I just mentioned. They did undermine me from the get go, by offering something so ridiculous but they still expected me to accept, sign and settle. I just pray my case is strong enough to dent their reputation! But it's such a daunting task when you represent yourself :(
It is, but you can do it!!!!
I love this video, it’s exactly what I’m doing, even if I don’t get anything it’s about justice and naming and shaming a giant, it will be cathartic and to help other people who have/ are suffering, because of confidence confusion, ACAS, bullying harassment and discrimination, from normal people, made me sad and angry 😢so many suffering with suicidal,stress anxiety?ptsd, de😢depression,etc, I keep thinking give in, but I’m scared Incase I have a panic attack or worse, but I look at my children and think I have to find the strength to do this for them, to know what is not acceptable, I want the press to be there, how can I do that, need this to be my legacy, that I made a difference in this world for others ❤ your words resound with me 😊
Glad these help, keep that fire! No idea about press....
I have a small piece of feedback for you. Love your videos, I'm taking your suggestion of watching them all because I have been waiting four years for an Ontario Human Rights tribunal and there is not a lot out here in Ontario Canada online to watch. But I have to tell you, the music that you are using remind me a lot of when commercials are played at a volume twice as loud as a show or a video that you might be watching. It is very aggressive, it just comes out of nowhere so it is very assaultive, it's literally painful. I have physical and mental health challenges and it makes it very difficult to watch your videos. Apologies, but I just thought I would deliver that piece of feedback to you and that you would probably want to hear it. Thank you for the content, but not the accompanying audio.😢
Sorry I made these on my phone to brain dump everything I learned and try to help others. Can't change them now....
@@beentheredonethat9647 Thank you for your response - not to worry - I would much rather have your videos as a resource than not, as not a lot of people seem to have made such content. Except for maybe me, forthcoming that is! So I will deal! I have a volume control and mute button after all, as I watch them on my TV. With that said, I cannot thank you enough as the videos have been a terrific resource. As far as the early beginnings of my channel are concerned, I invite you to become a follower. I have big plans, many recorded videos, but I've just posted a few thus far. I'm fighting an initial case within the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, but an arm of the Tribunal called the Legal Support Centre arbitrarily assigned me a lawyer last May to "help" me prepare for Mediation, but she was so incredibly abusive over a period of one month that her treatment of me landed me in an emergency department via ambulance, and enduring a complete mental breakdown shortly after, with an overnight stay in a mental hospital, and 6-8 months recovery from this. The damage was just too intense not to report in some major way, and therefore I am making a second application to the Tribunal. But because her impressions of me as overly litigious and a liar were what prompted her to mistreat me in the first place, or so I have surmised, I will not ask for a financial reward. Just adherence to their own policies, which they did not do, and a promise to assign disability lawyers to work with people who have submitted documentation citing their disabilities. Would also be great to chat at some point if you were willing! Let me know. I'm also a budding memoirist, working on my first this summer. This will be documented in a playlist called Story Time. Thanks for reading and best of luck in your future endeavors. 🙏😁❤️
Under what law should an Employment Tribunal judge adhere to ACAS rules in the decision making process.
No law. ACAS have a code of practice, which is not the same as a law. However, when employers are found to have treated an employee unfairly, they can be further penalised (up to 25% uplift to remedy) for failing to follow the ACAS code of practice. It's "best practice" rather than law.
@@beentheredonethat9647 A grievance was raised against an individual who also became the grievance investigator but the tribunal found it to be reasonable and fair for the individual to carry out the grievance as there are no other available senior management. The system seems flawed. The grievance was raised because of the behaviour of the individual and delay to the investigation but yet the employment tribunal disregarded. I know all cases are different but this seems strange. The individual who was the investigator gave an outcome that favoured himself and the company in the end. The judge who seems to be less experienced deemed it fair.
It can be hard for smaller companies to handle these sorts of situations, and it will have come down to minutiae of details. If you think the judge misjudged that point of law, you can request a reconsideration
Can you be reinstated?
Absolutely. That can be what you request as the outcome. Its rare but only because it's often the case that after litigation the parties are less than friendly towards eachother, so reinstatement isn't usually requested. But yes Absolutely
@@beentheredonethat9647 Thank you. In my case, that's exactly what I want. I've done absolutely nothing wrong.
