FAQs


  • Appealing to the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) is inherently challenging and necessitates obtaining authorisation to appeal from the EAT. While it is possible to appeal without prior consultation, I recommend that you have an appeals specialist evaluate the Employment Tribunal judgement beforehand. There may be insufficient grounds for appeal, and pursuing one without reasonable prospects of victory would be a futile use of time and resources.


  • The deadline for filing an appeal is forty-two days after the date that either:

    1. The decision was submitted to you, and the reasons were also supplied to you (but only in the event that the Employment Tribunal did not provide reasons during the hearing, or

    2. If you requested the reasons within fourteen days of the decision being sent to you).
      You have till four o'clock on the final day to submit your appeal.

    Your appeal must arrive by 4pm on the final day. You can submit a request for an appeal to be considered even if it is late; however, extensions are not typically granted, and you are needed to provide a compelling justification.

  • In general, reconsideration in the Employment Tribunal is employed to address clerical errors. It is preferable to appeal if you believe that the Employment Tribunal has committed an error. Applying for reconsideration in cases where a tribunal has rendered a negative decision is unlikely to result in a change in the outcome and may lead to the tribunal issuing additional findings against you.

  • You are unable to appeal solely based on your disagreement with the Employment Tribunal's decision. You may appeal solely on the basis that the Employment Tribunal has committed an error of law. A legal error occurs when the Employment Tribunal has incorrectly applied the law, misunderstood the law, or reached a perverse conclusion that no reasonable tribunal could have reached.

  • You are required to submit the pertinent papers to the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) within forty-two days of receiving the written reasons or decision from the Employment Tribunal. For more information, please refer to the practice directions provided by the Employment Tribunal. The ET1 and Particulars of Claim, the ET3 and Grounds of Resistance, and the Judgement and Reasons that you are appealing are the three documents that are typically included in this category.
