Employment Appeal Tribunal FAQ

  • Appealing to the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) is inherently difficult and requires permission to appeal from the EAT.
    Although you can attempt to appeal without first taking advice, I would suggest that you have a specialist in appeals review the Employment Tribunal decision first.
    There may or may not be good grounds of appeal and it would be a waste of time and money to appeal where you do not have reasonable prospects of success.

  • You have 42 days from the date that the Judgment & Reasons were sent to you to submit your appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal.

  • Generally speaking, reconsideration in the Employment Tribunal is used to deal with clerical errors. If you think the Employment Tribunal has made an error, it is better to appeal. Applying for reconsideration where a tribunal has found against is unlikley to lead to a change in outcome and could result in the tribunal making more findings against you.

  • You cannot simply appeal because you disagree with the decision of the Employment Tribunal. You can only appeal on the grounds that the Employment Tribunal has made an error of law. An error of law is either where the Employment Tribunal has misunderstood the law, wrongly applied the law or where a particular conclusion is one that no reasonable tribunal could arrive at, i.e. perverse.

  • Within 42 days of the Employment Tribunal’s written reasons or decision being sent to you, you must lodge the relevant documents (see the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) practice direction) with the EAT. Generally, that is the ET1 & Particulars of Claim, the ET3 & Grounds of Resistance, and the Judgment & Reasons that you are appealing.
