My ex-employer's solicitor is attempting to settle an unfair dismissal claim against their client, with me prior to an imminent Tribunal, but they have only been instructed to act in employment matters.
The unfair dismissal centered mainly around non payment of statutory sick pay (as independently found by a HMRC investigation, and a GDPR breach (ex-employer lost personal details, already found by the ICO).
I am looking to secure compensation in respect of personal injury (loss of university fees, travel and accommodation totalling around £10k), occasioned by this unfair dismissal. I have a 250 page bundle of Tribunal documents, an employment counsel opinion and a shorter precis of events within a witness statement.
Is no win/no fee best?
Are these two separate issues or can they both be rolled into one full and final matter?
Should I wait for the Tribunal outcome/formal admission before addressing these areas? Would I qualify for a better no win/no fee deal given that I have already done most of the spadework myself?
I would be grateful to receive some ideas on my options.
Thank you.
