This hearing will determine if the claim fails or succeeds. If the claim succeeds, there would then be a remedy hearing. You should expect to give live oral evidence at the Final Hearing. You will be cross-examined by the claimant or their legal representative (which may be counsel).
The Employment Tribunal may consist of a full panel (an employment judge and 2 wing or lay members who are non-legal) if the claim is for a protected characteristic, alternatively, it shall be before an Employment Judge alone. The claimant will also be cross-examined and following the completion of each party presenting their case, we shall prepare an oral closing submission.
The Employment Tribunal will then postpone to consider their deliberations and will either provide an oral judgement on the day or provide a reserved decision which will be judgement by post.
