Order

An Order is an instruction given by the Employment Tribunal in connection with a case before it. A Chairman can at any time either on an application or on his own initiative make an order in connection with case management.

The person subject to the Order can make an application for the Order to be varied or revoked.  An Order is recorded in writing and sent to the parties.  There are serious consequences for failing to comply with an Order of the Employment Tribunal.

Overriding Objective

An Employment Tribunal will  always try to deal with cases justly (the ‘overriding objective’) by:

1. ensuring parties are on an equal footing

2. ensuring that the case is dealt with expeditiously and fairly

3. dealing with the case in ways which are proprtionate to the complexity of the issues

4. saving expense
