Case Management Hearing
Preparation Service
You get a clear, judge‑friendly Position Statement and CMH Agenda—prepared by me.
You stay in control; I do the heavy lifting
Why preparation matters
- Many CMHs go off the rails because the case is not set out and the agenda is weak.
- The Judge needs clarity – clear, organised paperwork makes their job easier and ensures your case is understood from the start.
- It sets the tone with the other side – when your documents are sharp and focused, it shows you’re prepared and serious, which can stop them trying to push you around.
- It locks in the issues early – strong paperwork makes sure nothing important is missed, so you avoid delays, confusion, or costly mistakes later on.

How it works
This service is offered under the Direct Access Scheme. There are, therefore some formalities, that need to be undertaken.

I will confirm if I can assist and, if so, will request certain documents.
Once that is provided I will send a fixed quote.

a slot, and we agree
to terms.

Drafting and Questions
I draft your Position Statement and Agenda; if needed, I’ll send targeted questions only. You get a clean first draft.
(10-12 days before
the CMH)
Your review & one tidy pass

and finalise the paperwork.
(10 days before the CMH)
Final pack to you
You then lodge with the Tribunal and Respondent no later than 7 days before the hearing (your responsibility).
The time scale above is the ideal timetable, I may be able to do the work with less time before the Preliminary Hearing, please enquire.
Who is it for
- Litigants in person who want their case presented clearly at CMH.
- Parties with messy pleadings who need the issues distilled.
- People who can answer short, focused questions on time.
Who is it not for
- Same‑day/last‑minute CMHs.
- Anyone wanting representation at the hearing.
- Claims in Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth or Southampton Employment Tribunals as, because I sit there as a Judge, I am unable to be involved in any cases in those Tribunals.
Pricing
- Fixed quote after the paper check. I don’t guess before I’ve seen your documents.
- Course discount: if you’ve taken Case Management Hearings Made Simple, you’ll receive £100 off your quote
Small print: Price covers one Position Statement + one CMH Agenda + one revision pass. Additional iterations, late expansions of scope, or urgent turnarounds are quoted separately.
