How long will my matter take?
As an indicative guide, Employment Tribunal proceedings for unfair dismissal and wrongful dismissal last between 6 to 18 months between the issuing of the initial claim and the parties receiving the Tribunal’s judgment. This will vary depending on the complexity of your case, if/when it settles, and, the Employment Tribunal’s own timetable. The Employment Tribunal will determine the precise case management timetable at the first preliminary hearing.
