Going to tribunal without a solicitor?

Most people lose not because they were wrong — but because they didn't understand the process. One missed deadline. One wrong thing said at a preliminary hearing. One badly organised bundle. That's all it takes.

This guide gives you the insider knowledge solicitors use to manage tribunal cases from start to finish. The stuff they'd charge you £300+ per hour to explain.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT YOU GET:

✔ 9 comprehensive sections covering every stage from ET1 to final hearing

✔ How to decode the ET3 response — what their solicitor is really saying

✔ Case management explained — what to say (and not say) at preliminary hearings

✔ Disclosure demystified — how to request documents and spot what's missing

✔ Witness statement guidance — how to write one that judges actually believe

✔ Bundle preparation — what goes in, how to organise it, what to leave out

✔ Settlement negotiation basics — when to accept and when to say no

✔ Final hearing survival — cross-examination, giving evidence, closing submissions

✔ Ready-to-use templates — extension requests, bundle index, pre-hearing checklists

HOW TO USE IT:

1. Download the guide

2. Read the section that matches where you are in the process

3. Use the templates and checklists before your next deadline or hearing
