[In person only]1. “You are what you EAT”: successfully identifying and resisting grounds of appeal – Julian Allsop and Douglas Leach
Have you ever received a Tribunal judgment and felt instinctively that the outcome was wrong or unjust, but not been able to identify exactly why? Or perhaps you have received grounds of appeal and have been unsure about how to respond?
In this interactive workshop, Julian and Douglas will provide practical guidance via worked examples on how to spot good grounds of appeal, as well as how to resist even well-framed grounds. They will further discuss common procedural pitfalls to avoid and highlight particular ways in which the conduct of proceedings at first instance can affect prospects in the EAT.

Join Kerry and Geraint for this interactive workshop discussing the ups and the downs of the sometimes-complicated results when workers do (or don’t) take time off. We’ll be there for you.
