Put the right number on your claim — or challenge theirs.
What a claim is worth is decided by the Schedule of Loss. Whether you are claiming and need to build one, or defending and need to challenge it, the figures have to be right and properly evidenced.
Why this matters
The schedule sets the value
The Schedule of Loss is where compensation is worked out, head by head. A weak schedule leaves money on the table; an inflated one loses credibility.
Every figure must be justified
Tribunals expect each head of loss to be evidenced and calculated properly. Guesswork gets picked apart.
The counter-schedule is your defence
If you are the respondent, a sharp counter-schedule is how you take the air out of an over-stated claim.
What you get
If you are claiming
- A full Schedule of Loss, head by head — basic and compensatory award, losses, pension, injury to feelings
- Each figure calculated and evidenced, with the right statutory caps applied
- A realistic total you can stand behind
If you are defending
- A Counter-Schedule that meets each head and disputes what is over-stated
- Deductions, mitigation and remoteness argued properly
- A credible figure the tribunal can work from
How it works
This service is offered under the Direct Access Scheme, so there are a few short formalities first.
Send me a few details so I can check there is no conflict of interest and that I can act. If I can, I ask for the papers I need and send you a fixed quote.
Response within 1–2 working days
Once you are happy with the quote, we agree terms in a short client-care letter and lock in a slot.
Before the work starts
I draft your Schedule of Loss (or the Counter-Schedule), asking you only short, targeted questions where I need to. You get a clean first draft.
To an agreed timetable
You check the facts and we finalise it together.
Before your deadline
You get the finished document, ready to use, with a short note on what to do with it.
In good time
Who it is for
- You are running your own tribunal case and want a specialist on the parts that matter
- You can give me the papers and answer short, focused questions on time
- You want expert input without handing the whole case over
Who it is not for
- Same-day or last-minute work
- Anyone who wants their whole case managed for them — that is really a solicitor's role, and I will say so
- Claims in the Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth or Southampton Employment Tribunals — I sit there as a judge, so I cannot be involved in cases in those tribunals
Pricing
A fixed quote, after I have seen your papers
- I give you a fixed quote once I have seen your documents — I do not guess before then
- Everything is agreed in a short client-care letter before any work starts
The fee covers the work set out in the client-care letter. Extra work or a change of scope is quoted separately.
Questions
It is the document that sets out what you are claiming in money terms, head by head — and how each figure is worked out.
Yes — including which Vento band applies and why, with the reasoning the tribunal expects.
Yes. Say so when you enquire and I will quote for a review rather than a full build.
