Preparing and Presenting an Employment Tribunal

Many employment tribunal actions are lost before they begin by poor preparation. This extended evening seminar takes a detailed look at the process adopted by employment law specialists in preparing a case in the employment tribunal, from taking witness statements, preparing documentation and assessing strengths and weaknesses of a case, before undertaking a short run through one witnesses evidence in chief and cross-examination in a real life example.

TUPE Legislation

The 2006 TUPE regulations introduced a number of new concepts to this always complex area of law. As well as clarifying some of the aspects of the 1981 regulations that had given rise to much litigation in the quarter century since their introduction. In this seminar we look at the basic principles of TUPE, take an overview of the legislation and examine in more detail the "new" provisions on service provision change transfers, employee liability information and transfers by insolvent companies.
