Fill out your ET1 claim form properly This is another reason why it is so important to get the ball rolling quickly. Fill in the form detailing every last tiny piece of evidence that could help you. It is amazing what can help you in a court of law.
Educate yourself on the law before the proceedings It is unfair to expect somebody who has not studied the law to be able to get a proper grip on a section of law that has many ins and outs but it is vital that you do what you can to have as much information in your head as possible that may help your defend yourself.
Ensure you have all the correct documents in your disclosure This is important as it will ensure all correct evidence is presented but it will also help to get the judge on your side, as they will appreciate that their time has not been wasted.
Use as many witnesses as you possibly can at the tribunal The more evidence the better, so even if you have ten people all saying the same thing it will help to compound the evidence building up against your employer.
