The essential handbook for anyone thinking about, or in the middle of, an employment claim and who does not have a lawyer.

Employment Claims without a Lawyer: A Handbook for Litigants in Person is for anyone thinking about, or in the middle of, an employment claim and who does not have a lawyer to help them. Managing an employment dispute or representing yourself or your small organisation in an employment tribunal can be daunting but, with the help of this book, it is not impossible. This fully revised third edition leads the reader through the whole process in clear plain language to provide a complete view of what's involved and how to best present a case. The author, David Curwen, is a barrister with nearly 40 years of experience representing claimants and businesses and has distilled his experience to provide the practical tips and background law needed to take on this task with greater confidence. Importantly he covers the steps that both the employee and employer need to consider when a problem first arises and before it gets to a formal claim. Essential reading for anyone representing themselves or who is involved in a potential claim and wants to know more about the process.
