Unfair Dismissal: Can I Appeal an Employment Tribunal Decision?

If you fail to convince a Tribunal that you have suffered an unfair dismissal, you may be able to appeal the decision. If your case has been handled by a Solicitor then they will be able to tell you whether or not there are good reasons to appeal. Technically you will only be able to appeal an Employment Tribunal decision if there was a problem on a point of law in your case, which a solicitor will be able to identify.

It is not uncommon that if you win an unfair dismissal claim, your former employer may also attempt to appeal the decision. If this happens there will be a delay in your being paid compensation or an order for re-engagement or reinstatement being honoured.
