Tribunal timings for lhr area
Just a quick update on Employment tribunal timings for the lhr area.
A case which I am familiar with was caused by dismissal in November 2009. The ET1 and papers were submitted in 2009. The case is now listed for January 2011, but may well be postponed due to other cases running over.
The Reading ET (where lhr cases are heard) has a serious shortage of "Judges" - the one who sits in the middle.
So if you were dismissed by BA in, say, March 2010, the case might be listed for May 2011.
DH 's case was not a "regular" case - it was fast tracked for some reason. Some sort of "relief"?

Whilst that theory is an interesting one, BA's track record has been even more cautious than that.
If they went down that sort of route, they would apply a process to it, with meetings involved. I suggest they would want each individual to sign a bit of paper to say that they had read, and understood the consequences of their actions.
Difficult to fix with thousands of staff.
