Employment Tribunal Compensation:

What is the claim worth? That's the question uppermost in your client's mind. Early, accurate assessment of remedies is essential for managing your client's expectations and for the cost-effective preparation and presentation of employment tribunal claims. It is an issue which requires the exercise of judgment as well as a grasp of fast-changing principles and one which is too often avoided until the end.

This course will include guidance on how to prepare schedules of loss and counter-schedules (which advanced your case and assist the tribunal) and tailor-made case studies. It will also cover legal principles and recent developments in the following fields:

• Unfair dismissal compensation: general principles, loss of a chance, mitigation, future losses, holiday pay, the overlap with wrongful dismissal, benefits and allowances, recoupment, tax
• Additional remedies in discrimination cases: the tortious measure, personal injury and injury to feelings, interest
• Adjustments: PILON, contributory conduct, Polkey reductions, s31 Employment Act 2002, statutory cap
• Supplementary and other non-compensatory awards (the basic award etc)
