Serial litigants in the workplace - how to spot employment claims early

Employees, workers, and even job applicants are becoming more and more aware of their employment rights and how to bring a claim in the Employment Tribunals. With this, we are seeing a growing number of serial litigants, who seek employment with the primary purpose of creating disruption and subsequently lodging an Employment Tribunal claim.

No organisation is immune, and even small start ups and charities can find themselves as respondents to baseless litigation. Employment Tribunals appear to be showing an increasing level of patience with litigants in person: they are very anxious not to be perceived as barring access to justice. As such, litigants in person – including serial litigants - are given significant support during the tribunal process. 

Hosted by Partner and Head of Employment, Rustom Tata, with speakers Simon Bellm and Lydia Goodman joining the discussion to share their expert insights and provide practical tips for business owners and HR teams when recruiting new employees.
