Appealing an employment tribunal decision

If you have pursued your case to an employment tribunal and were unsuccessful, we can help you understand whether you have good grounds in appealing the decision in the Employment Appeals Tribunal.

Litigation can be a very stressful time, and if you have been unsuccessful at an employment tribunal, it is important that you receive expert legal advice on whether you have grounds to pursue your case through the appeals process.

How DAS Law can help you

Our highly experienced team of over 30 employment lawyers can provide you with practical legal advice and representation at an Employment Appeals Tribunal.

These are some of the possible  outcomes we can achieve for you:

  • Review your existing case that was unsuccessful at the Employment Tribunal and advise you on whether you have legal grounds to pursue an appeal at an Employment Appeals Tribunal.
  • Prepare the necessary paperwork to pursue your appeal and provide representation at an appeal hearing.
  • Important things to consider

    Here are some important things you should be aware of regarding your appeal.

    • Our lawyers are highly experienced in handling employment appeal cases.
    • You can only appeal a decision from an Employment Tribunal on limited legal grounds, and not just because you do not agree with the decision.

    How much will it cost?

    If you would like DAS Law to help you appeal a decision at an Employment Tribunal, there are a number of ways of funding your legal costs, including:

    Legal Expenses Insurance (LEI)

    If you have a motor or home insurance policy which includes Legal Expenses Insurance (LEI) cover, your legal costs may be covered by your policy (subject to the terms and conditions of the policy). If you are unsure if your insurance policy includes LEI cover, we will check this with you.

    Personal Funds

    If you do not have LEI cover, we can still deal with your dispute on a fixed fee basis, offering you clarity on your legal costs.

    Our employment law specialists will be happy to explain all of these options to you.

    What should you do next?
