Grievance appeal ongoing Tribunal application submitted

[redstar]

So received ET3 there are two glaring inaccuracies and also a threat if I do not withdraw my case within 14 days they will charge me costs circa 6k .Beyond disgusting.

It is not unusual for there to be differences of opinion in both parties view of the claim. You will need to deal with any inaccuracies via documentary evidence and your witness statement.

In respect of the costs statement, then a party can make an application for costs or a preparation for time order against the other party in the circumstances linked to below:

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/nisr/...agraph/73/made

The whole document may be relevant to assisting with your claim as it is the legislation covering The Industrial Tribunals and Fair Employment Tribunal (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2020.

It's legal blackmail knowing people can't afford to take them on.If I lost how would they reclaim the cost ?

[ULA]

They would have to make a costs application to the tribunal and prove their case based on the criteria set out in the link I sent you. It would be down to the Tribunal to decide whether any costs should be awarded against you. Tribunals in England and Wales tend to go with the principle of each party is responsible for their own costs and it is not the norm, but it does happen that costs are awarded against a claimant.

I have no experience of what that is like in NI so I cannot give an opinion just the facts of when a costs claim can arise.

So company threatening legal costs if I do not withdraw case 9mg My case is truthfully et Al bit cannot afford their 12k plus costs of I proceed and loose against large corporations how would they obtain fees blood out a stone or otherwise I want to go to tribunal because it's true but this is absurd ??

[redstar]

Can they make me loose house or accept pay plan latter ok f them it's blackmail take us to court and we will charge you

[ULA]

Hi redstar I appreciate that a costs threat is very concerning for you but I cannot add any further comment to what I have said in my post #34, given my only experience of costs orders is based on the Tribunal system operating in England and Wales not in NI.

[redstar]

Thanks Ula so upsetting genuine complaint but tide against ya but thanks again so upsetting big wigs claim costs leveraging but am hopefull can can support as their ET3 contradicts what's their grievance outcome was in fact a complete 360 and denying everything now ...well they can't get blood out a stone so ..

[ULA]

We can keep helping as much as our expertise can provide.

[redstar]

Sorry it's me again ! Received prelimary hearing notice and jam1 which they want me to sign again advises of charges .Had anyone any advice re whether to sign Jam 1. Conciliation was declined by previous employer

[ULA]

Can you please confirm what you mean by a jam1?

[redstar]

Thanks for response Ula.They have called it JAM 1. Judicial Assessment and Judicial Mediation and said both parties must accept costs

[ULA]

Thank you for clarifying I was not sure what you were meaning the way you had set it out so always best to check.

Effectively the tribunal is trying to encourage you and the respondent to resolve the dispute without it going to a full hearing. Below I have linked you to a document that sets out what Judicial Assessment is and touches on Judicial Mediation.
