Invited to a disciplinary

[ULA]

Unfortunately rulings in higher courts are considered to be higher authority when it comes to presenting case law at a Tribunal hearing. So a quick learning lesson is if you find case law at an Employment Tribunal that may assist your claim, always check there as not been an appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal then potentially Court of Appeal or higher.

I would just say that the ET process can be stressful and overwhelming for a litigant in person, as I assume that you are, so the best thing to do is take this a stage at a time.

Currently, until you receive the ET3 and any Grounds of Resistance document from the college, or if they have now instructed a law firm then a solicitor, you do not know what their defence will be. Therefore at the moment you only have half the picture ,which is what your claim is and the evidence you have to prove that claim for which you can start researching case law to support your case with legal arguments.

Once you know the defence being put in by the college, then you can start to think how you will "attack" that defence and again what case law there may be to assist you in that.

We know they breached their own rules and employment laws as its all documented. Their defence can only be the question of why they breached their own rules and employment laws, but it wouldn't change the fact that they breached those things. If their defence contradicts the documented notes they made at the time, then their defence must be lies. Im just preparing by looking at cases regarding the breaches we know about, and will argue any inconsistency between the documented notes and their defence if any occur.

Definitely good preparation in the meantime until you get their defence documents through. At least then you will know how they will argue your claim.
