Course description
In any employment claim, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the potential awards that could be made by the Tribunal whether you act for the Claimant or Respondent.
What do Tribunals look for in the content and layout of a Schedule of Loss? What is the current approach to assessing pension loss? How do you manage a Claimant’s expectations of what they are likely to record by way of compensation if they are successful?
Presented by the hugely popular speaker Alastair Hodge, a barrister who specialises in all aspects of employment law, this live and interactive session will examine the general principles for assessing basic and compensatory awards, heads of loss, mitigation, Polkey, contributory fault, the impact of the ACAS Code of Practice, tax and interest, as well as looking at the assessment of compensation for discrimination claims under the Equality Act 2010.
