Employment Tribunals Schedule of Issues	Michael Groves	12/08/2008 21:52
I am representing myself at an employment Tribunal The Tribunal have asked for a schedule of issues. has anyone prepared one of these before? what format should it take and what should it contain? the issues are already set out in the originationg application so is this just a repeat of that?

This is a chronological pack of all the documentation supporting your case eg letters/emails to the employer and their responses (or lack of). You must then provide the number of packs stated by the tribunal courts for delivery to all parties.

Hi Michael, You need to be careful when you are representing yourself that you get the documentation correct. A schedule of issues is ususally a list of the things being disputed - e.g. unfair dismissal because of x, direct sex discrimination on the grounds of y, non payment of holiday pay, etc. The difference between it and the ET1 is that the ET1 contains all of the whys and wherefores but the schedule of issues is not much more than a list. It allows the tribunal to understand what is being alleged and allows the employer to prepare a defence. This is not the same as a bundle of the documents that will be referred to during the hearing (the bundle), a schedule of the monies being claimed by you if you win (the schedule of loss) or a chronology of the main events. Before you respond to the tribunal you should seek specialist advice on the direction you are taking, especially if your claim involves any element of discrimination. Representing yourself is fine, but taking advice during the process will help you to make sure that you don't scupper your chances unwittingly. Hope this helps, Dave.
