Misleading an Employment Tribunal

[qwertyuiop91]

At our last hearing, the Respondent turned up completely unprepared for the hearing. They had a seemingly reasonable excuse for this, so the Tribunal decided to postpone the hearing. The Tribunal said that it could not be decided on whether the Respondent were trying to mislead the Tribunal until further information was sent in by someone on the Respondents side (who did not attend the hearing).

The Tribunal has ordered this person to send in further information, so that we can find out what actually happened.


My question is what happens if it is decided that the Respondent were lying, or trying to "mislead" the Tribunal?

A preparation time order has already been made in my favour due to this postponement, but can the Respondent really just lie, get caught, and thats the end of it?


I also realised after the hearing that I actually have a few emails that prove the Respondent is likely lying. Is it too late to send this information to the Tribunal and Respondent? Is it likely to be considered by the Tribunal? I just couldnt think of it during the hearing, but I remembered it afterwards

Concentrate on proving what you need to prover to win your case. This includes evidence that indicates that the other party's evidence should not be accepted.

It is for the Tribunal to decide whether evidence has been given dishonestly, and, if so, what to do about it.
