Employment Tribunal Starter Pack (ET1 Mastery Guide)
Building an ET1 with a solicitor costs £500+VAT for the initial consultation, then £300+ per hour after that. This guide gives you the same framework I use, broken down step by step so you can do it yourself. £129 once. Yours forever.
You've decided to take them to tribunal. Now you need to get your ET1 right. One mistake here and your entire claim could be thrown out before it even starts.
The ET1 form looks simple. It isn't.
What you write in that box sets the boundaries of your entire case. Include the wrong things, miss the right things, or phrase something carelessly. You've just handed your employer's lawyers exactly what they need to destroy your claim.
I've spent 23 years watching people file ET1s that doom their cases from day one. Wrong jurisdiction. Missed claims. Weak particulars. Deadline errors. Basic mistakes that cost them everything.
This is the exact process I use when helping clients prepare tribunal submissions.
