Appeals
Stage 9 of 9 · 4 topics in this stage
If you think the tribunal got the law wrong, this is where you find out whether you can do anything about it. An appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal is not a second chance to argue the facts. It is only about whether the tribunal made an error of law. This stage is about when you can appeal, the grounds and the strict time limits, and how the EAT works.
