Hi there
I have submitted a Schedule of Loss however Respondent has stated that it is "deficient" due to the fact that I have not entered amounts and instead have entered "to be assessed". This is because I have no knowledge of how to calculate a schedule.
My claim is a disability discrim claim (currently 25 separate acts of discrimination)
I am still employed however currently on sickness absence purely due to work related depression and aggravated M.E/ CFS symptoms as a result of harassment/victimisation etc.
I am on half pay and my salary is due to end next month as I will have been on sick for 12 months and will therefore be on zero pay.
Hearing is listed for 22nd July (10 days). Lots of documentary evidence of discriminatory acts and also fraud/corruption and more recently perverting the course of justice (submitting forged docs as evidence and destruction of original scoring docs)
The following are what I have stated on my schedule :
Loss of salary due to work related injury;
Net loss from 19th October 2012 to 22nd July 2013: £to be assessed
interest @ 7%
Injury to feelings/Injury to health
In line with the DaBelle guidelines £to be assessed
Injury to health
(psychiatric/psychological/physical) £ to be assessed
Aggravated damages £ to be assessed
interest @ 7 £to be assessed
My questions are:
1) Should I be claiming for future losses for a lengthy period of time or should I stick to up to the date of the hearing ? Whilst I am still employed, It is very unlikely that I am going to be fit for work for a very long time, if ever.
2) If so, should I also claim for loss of pension ?
3) Can I provide 2 separate schedules i.e. one as an alternative? There is a possibility that I may not be employed soon either due to the Respondent dismissing me for capability or if I am forced to resign therefore it is impossibe to submit an accurate schedule due to the many variables which may occur in the near future.
4) Can the Respondent force me to provide figures instead of "to be assessed" I am aware that compensation is uncapped in disability discrim cases therefore how can I possibly be expected to provide any figures? Hence I have stated "to be assessed" as in assessed by the Tribunal.
Both parties have agreed to enter into Judicial Mediation which will probably take place around November.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated
Thanks very much in advance
