    Hi Guys,

    I'm due to be in the Employment Appeals tribunal in a couple of weeks over a number of different problems with my prior boss including unpaid wages. Has anyone been involved in a case like this and have you any pointers? Will I need to bring a solicitor and do I need to write everything that I want to say

    best be prepared and have everything documented and have all the evidence of lack of payment and any other problems so you can provided it to them if requested. if memory serves me right i think you can represent yourself, i know my wife did years ago. but no harm making a call to them and asking.

    hope everything works out for you

    you can represent yourself, i did but i found it very difficult to concentrate on everything that was being said against me and ended up not saying everything i should have.

    imo a solicitor is a waste of money, my reasoning being i was telling the truth so i went in and said my piece, lots take a solicitor and barrister with them but i'd imaging that costs them thousands

    my advice would be prepare in advance as best as you can and do your best to remain calm and composed while you're in there

    you can be represented by a union rep, solicitor/barrister or any individual (ie. family member) with the tribunal's approval

    good luck with it

    I only used a solicitor on the basis of no win no fee .
    I could have represented myself.
    The thing to remember is try not to go into too much detail .
    You should just stick to facts.
    They 3 judge panel will ask you to explain yourself and question you.
