Employment Tribunal August - Accessing Documentation

[barty9]

Hi

Does the employment tribunal have a portal for accessing documentation? I frequently receive correspondence to my junk email, and then ACAS chases me for a response? Any help, advice or guidance would be gratefully received to access the documentation online as opposed to my email inbox.

Thanks

Unfortunately there is no online Employment Tribunal portal.

If you are in the middle of an Employment Tribunal claim then if you have not already done so set your Inbox to not "Junk" emails from the Tribunal and until you are sure that is happening keep an eye on your Junk.

Thanks ULA I have now received an ET3 response.
Are my next steps to follow this up with my response through a new ET3 form?

So, I presume that you are the claimant and you submitted an ET1? The only party that can submit an ET3 is the respondent.

What will happen now is that an Employment Judge will consider all the documents held by the Tribunal (your ET1, the ET3 and any Ground of Resistance GoR the respondent may have included) in relation to the claim, to confirm whether there are arguable complaints and defences within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal. If there is any issue about this the Judge may order a party to provide further information. If not then the Judge has to consider whether the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to consider the claim, or part of it, or that the claim, or part of it, has no reasonable prospect of success. If any of this situations apply then the parties will be notified accordingly. Alternatively, if these situations do no apply then the Judge conducting the initial consideration will make a case management order (unless made already), which may deal with the listing of a preliminary or final hearing and may propose judicial mediation or other forms of dispute resolution.

I would suggest that you read The Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, which I have linked to below as this sets out the legal process that you are now in.
