Employment Tribunal Costs Warning Letter

If you would like to recover your costs of taking your employment law dispute to the employment tribunal, you must warn your opponent that you will make an application to the employment tribunal for a costs order to be made against them.

If you're not sure whether you can claim your costs back, we explain in this section of our article on employment tribunal costs.

Your employer should respond to your tribunal costs warning letter within a reasonable time. For example, you may put a deadline by which you ask them to withdraw their case, otherwise you will make an application for a costs order.

Should I be worried about my employer's Employment Tribunal Costs warning letter?

Sometimes a threat of costs is nothing more that scare tactics and can be disregarded, other times they're very serious.

If your employer really does have a chance of winning their costs against you, you can be ordered to pay all of their legal fees, which may be in the tens of thousands, depending on your case.

Our specialist employment law advisor can explain which is most likely in your case and advise on how best to respond.
