Understanding Employment Tribunal Claims
Employment tribunals only have the authority to decide on issues that are directly addressed in the claimant's tribunal claim form, known as the ET1. If additional claims or issues arise after the initial submission, a claimant must formally request permission to amend their ET1. The judge has the discretion to allow or deny these amendments based on several factors. These factors include the nature of the amendment, the relevance of time limits, and the timing of the application, which are crucial in assessing whether the amendment should be permitted.
