From Strike-Out to Landmark Court of Appeal Victory
Phipps v Priory Education Services Ltd
When Mrs Phipps came to us, her disability discrimination case had been struck out by the Employment Tribunal through no fault of her own. Her previous representative had failed her completely, and both the Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal had refused to overturn the strike-out decision.
What we achieved:
-
Successfully appealed to the Court of Appeal
-
Overturned both Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeals Tribunal decisions
-
Secured Mrs Phipps the fair hearing she deserved
-
Set landmark legal precedent for future appeals
-
Changed employment law on reconsideration applications

Appeals FAQS
Can I appeal my Employment Tribunal decision?
You can only appeal if the Employment Tribunal made an error of law - not simply because you disagree with their decision. This includes misunderstanding the law, wrongly applying it, or reaching a conclusion no reasonable tribunal could reach.
How long do I have to appeal?
You have 42 days from when the Judgment & Reasons were sent to you to submit your appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal. This deadline is strict.
Should I apply for reconsideration instead?
Reconsideration is generally used for clerical errors only. If the tribunal made a legal error, an appeal is usually the better option. We can challenge unfair decisions through the appeals process rather than unsuccessful reconsideration attempts.
