ADVICE NEEDED - taking ex employers to COURT and they've LIED on personnel file!!!

Some of you are already aware my dh was dismissed from his job on Christmas Eve and since then we've been trying to put a case together with our solicitor for Discrimination again a Disability.

Anyway, dh asked for his personnel file over a month ago and stated within 14 days (as per solicitors advice). 7 days later he got a letter saying it would be sent in due course. We thought this was odd because all they should have to do is get it, photocopy it and send. Well, it finally arrived this morning (after he chased them) and it's full of lies. They've invented a verbal warning that never happened and there are pages and pages of notes that we just know they have written up since requesting the file - lots of lies!

They put in their letter than they have not been playing delay tactics and that it's their busy workload that stopped them sending it sooner - we KNOW it's because they had lots to make up before they sent it.

What is the point in asking for a file if they are going to get the chance to make stuff up???!!! Where do we stand now???

Dh still hasn't got a new job and we are now worried we'll not even be able to take them to court now - any advice???? :(

BTW, we have called solicitor but he's busy until Tues!

It's a start, I know it's a pain but simple little things like this PROVE that the company is lying I hope you find more (-: Check that none of the dates are on weekends etc (assuming your DH didn't work them).

Good luck

HellyBelly, I am just a bit anxious someone from your dp's ex company might be or know a mumsnetter. Probably just being paranoid but I wouldnt give too much away on line about what you've caught them out on. Just in case!!

Good luck what an absolutely horrible situation for you and your dh.
