An Employment Tribunal is like a court but it is not as formal; for example, nobody wears a wig or gown. However, like a court it must act independently and cannot give legal advice such as advising you on your claim or response. Almost all hearings are open to the public.
The Employment Tribunals have a public enquiry line to answer your queries, provide information about tribunal publications and explain how the tribunal system works.
The enquiry line can only deal with general enquiries:
