Tribunal Agenda for Case Management at Preliminary Hearing help needed

JustDave
I'm at the stage of having to complete the "Agenda for case management at preliminary hearing" and the form terrifies me! I'm doing this on my own, (no union, no solicitor) and really don't want to risk messing up my case. Should I start the form now even though hearing is mid december?  Should I contact the respondent (organisation's lawyer) to ask if they're taking the lead on this, and I'll complete/offer any amendments after? They've not submitted the ET3 yet, should I wait for that?
I'm worried any mistake or omission on my part on any of the questions will result in the case being thrown out or ruled against me and leave me ruined. Has anyone any experience of this they're willing to share or is there any support available anywhere for a layperson such as myself to help make sure I'm keeping myself right?
Thank you in advance

  • Hi and welcome to the community.

    I suggest you seek support from Citizen's Advice; their related resource directs us to contact one of their advisers if we need help:

    "This is usually a short hearing.

    The tribunal will usually send you and your employer a form called a ‘case management agenda’. This asks things like:

    - if you want to withdraw or change part of your claim
    - if you need any extra information - you’ll need to explain what it is and why you want it
    what you want to get from the tribunal - like compensation
    - if there are any issues which the tribunal needs to decide before the case can continue
    - If you can agree dates and other issues on the agenda with your employer before the hearing, this will speed up the hearing. The tribunal will then make orders confirming what you and your employer have agreed.

    The judge might also set the date for the main hearing, so make sure you have a list of dates when you or your witnesses aren’t available.

    If you need help with a case management agenda, talk to an adviser."
