Hello
I have posted previously about my situation and was extremely grateful for the advice received (I have no-one to speak to irl). The thread was long so I thought it might be helpful to start a new one with the latest issue.
Summary - I have been employed by my employer for over twenty years. Unfortunately I have had to raise a claim against them at an Employment Tribunal for disability discrimination. I am a litigant in person. The case was due to be heard in July last year but I was sent away on the day as there wasn't a judge available to hear the case. I am unsure how to update the court on new developments.
The case has been rearranged to end of June. Unfortunately over the past year the discrimination has continued and new information has come to light about issues related to the claim which I had been led to believe previously had been settled (put briefly they claimed there had been an overpayment, which I disputed, but they subsequently said they had written it off - however it now transpires they have made deductions from my pension instead). I want to update my witness statement, schedule of loss and produce evidence relating to what has been happening and this new information for the ET to consider. I have called and emailed the court to ask how to do this, deadlines etc but had no response. I will keep chasing them but wondered if anyone had been in similar circumstances and could advise how best to do it? I have tried to do research online and in books but haven't been able to find out what you are meant to do/what the process is. ACAS just said contact the court but it's been months now, the hearing date is getting closer and I need to crack on with doing the work. Would you just do an additional witness statement /bundle covering the period since the case was last meant to be heard (obviously copied to the other side) ? It's going to get awfully confusing having so many different documents but I don't see how it can be avoided?
I also don't know what I can do to engage the court. In my last email i wrote that it was for the attention of the court manager but still didn't get a response. I would have thought they may want to set new deadlines, look at the length they are sitting etc unless they just assume everything is the same as last year?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
