How to deal with publicity surrounding Employment Tribunal claims? ================================================================== Most hearings are open to the public, and therefore the press are free to attend and report on the hearing. However, any press report must be fair, balanced, and accurate. If the press are mis-reporting the outcome of a hearing it is important to push back and have it corrected, before that mis-information becomes part of the narrative and is repeated elsewhere. If you believe the other side is leaking false information to the media it is important to act quickly, which would often involve us engaging with the other side and the media to have untrue allegations corrected. Employment Tribunal judgments are now published online. This increased accessibility is naturally a cause for concern for employers as the risk of adverse publicity is now greater. Judgments will contain details about the nature of the allegations and the conduct of the parties, as well as confidential commercial information regarding the company. It is therefore vital from the very outset of proceedings to have an eye to what information is contained in your pleadings and thinking about requests to the Tribunal for reporting restrictions / redactions where appropriate. **If you need advice or representation on any Employment Law matter, click below for a free initial consultation with one of our expert Employment solicitors.** [BOOK MY FREE CONSULTATION](https://vardags.com/contact "BOOK MY FREE CONSULTATION") About Us -------- Ayesha VardagFounder & President "ROLLS ROYCE SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH" Vardags offer a unique approach to the law, specially tailored to the needs of HNW individuals.
