Case of the Month
10/2026
New ET1 and ET3 forms
As of October 1 the Employment Tribunal have introduced new ET1 (claim) and ET3 (defence) forms and made some changes necessitated by the Employment Rights Act 2025. One key change is to allow (encourage?) a claimant to choose to be judged alone (rather than panel of 3) for a full hearing (already now the practice for unfair dismissal cases) and so, presumably, save money. But with more cases inevitable from the start of 2027 (when the service entitlement for unfair dismissal cases reduces form 2 years to 6 months employment) expect the backlog to get worse. It is already (sadly) around a 2 year await from claim to full hearing.
