theoretical ET question

[izzitme101]

If i had a problem at work, and found several ET's had found in favour of the employee, in substantially similar/identical circumstances, would my chances be improved on winning?

 

And also, is there a way to get hold of transcripts for ET's, or do they just release the decisions?

It's very rare for situations to be identical.

Yes, as it is based on case law. You can get written reasons for these by applying to the tribunal service, details of which can be found on their website.

First instance tribunal decisions are persuasive, but not binding.

 

You can pay a fee to request judgments from the central register, but only if you know the party details and/or case numbers.

 

I have once seen an older judgment with similar circumstances against the same employer presented to the ET - the judge queried why he shouldn't make the same findings in that particular case too. So it can be worth doing!
