Do you ever read the news and see the occasional report of a tribunal decision that strikes you as absurd, lacking in common sense, or involving subject matter of an utterly trivial nature?
You won’t be alone. I have been writing articles about cases of that kind for many years.
Let’s stop and think about a recurring theme within these cases. If the employer had taken timely independent legal advice before deciding to impose a fault based dismissal, whether linked to poor performance or misconduct, the scope for a claim could be greatly reduced. The reasoning could be firmed up. The procedure could be steered away from possible pitfalls. Not forgetting the potential merits of taking a step back and closing the process instead with a warning or by allowing further time to improve.
This is where I can step in and help. If you had a touch of outside guidance on whether your preferred outcome was feasible, how best to make it happen, and how to deal sensibly with a claim if one still dropped in, you may end up saving more time and resources than you could ever have anticipated.
