Simple case £600 to £1,200. These are cases likely to be listed for up to one full day of hearing.

Many cases are settled without a hearing. There will be an additional charge for attending a Tribunal Hearing of £1,200 per day.
Factors that could make a case more complex:
- If it is necessary to make or defend applications to amend claims or to provide further information about an existing claim
- Defending claims that are brought by litigants in person
- Making or defending a costs application
- Complex preliminary issues such as whether the claimant is disabled (if this is not agreed by the parties)
- The number of witnesses and documents
- If it is an automatic unfair dismissal claim e.g. if you are dismissed after blowing the whistle on your employer
- Allegations of discrimination which are linked to the dismissal
Disbursements
Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as court fees and medical reports. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.

How long will my matter take?
The time that it takes from taking your initial instructions to the final resolution of your matter depends largely on the stage at which your case is resolved. If a settlement is reached during pre-claim conciliation, your case is likely to take 3-7 weeks. If your claim proceeds to a Final Hearing, your case is likely to take 3 to 6 months for simple unfair dismissal claims and 6 to 18 months for complex unfair dismissal cases and discrimination claims. This is just an estimate and we will of course be able to give you a more accurate timescale once we have more information and as the matter progresses. extensive training and qualification in architecture in Kenya, Finland, UK and USA gives him deeper insight in property law, planning law, conveyancing and construction law.S
