Got a tribunal case? The wrong Schedule of Loss costs you tens of thousands.
You have a tribunal claim. Now someone is asking you what it is worth. And you do not know where to start.
Most people leave thousands on the table. They miss whole categories they were entitled to claim, or present the numbers in a way that gets argued down. This shows you how to calculate it the way the other side will.
Written by a qualified solicitor with 23 years of employment law experience. England and Wales. General educational information, not individual legal advice.
