This Precedent sets out general practical guidance on disclosure within employment tribunal proceedings for information purposes. Your employment solicitor can give tailored advice according to your situation and needs. Disclosure of documents—general principles Papers of various types will typically constitute a major element of the evidence presented in an employment tribunal claim. For justice to be done in the case, there must be clear and fair disclosure. Disclosure is the procedure by which relevant and necessary documents are made available and shown to the other side as part of preparing for the hearing. This prevents unfairness caused by one party having exclusive access to documents, springing late disclosure, cherry-picking, or concealing damaging material. The employment tribunal may require disclosure of documents under its general case management powers, either of its own motion or on an application made by a party. Directions about...
This Precedent offers general guidance on giving evidence in employment tribunal proceedings in England and Wales, and sets out helpful, practical tips intended to make the process of giving evidence both simpler and more effective overall. Your employment lawyer will be able to give specific advice tailored precisely to your own particular circumstances and needs. Giving evidence in the employment tribunal If you are called as a witness in employment tribunal proceedings, it will typically be at the final hearing stage, or at a preliminary hearing where factual issues are to be considered. You will be expected to provide evidence for one of the parties (claimant or respondent) either in person or by video link, depending on whether the hearing is listed to take place at a tribunal venue or remotely. The tribunal can also list a hearing for in-person attendance but allow some of the...

This note offers broad guidance about notice to show cause applications in family proceedings. Your family solicitor can give tailored advice based on your situation and particular needs in your circumstances. What is a notice to show cause application? Where one partner believes a financial settlement has been concluded, but the other seeks to step away from that deal (often described as an attempt to ‘resile’ from the agreement), the party relying on the settlement may apply for the other to ‘show cause’ why an order should not issue, made in, and reflecting the terms of that settlement. The party aiming to maintain the financial arrangement must lodge the application and is called the applicant. The other party to the application is the respondent, being the other party. The court will not readily allow parties who have struck a financial agreement to move away from it,...

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
