Our employment team recently celebrated a significant victory, bringing hope and justice to a client facing extraordinarily challenging circumstances.
Our client, a brave individual battling stage four cancer, found themselves in a daunting legal battle against their former employer. Among a raft of issues, they’d faced disability discrimination which had proved detrimental to their health.
The gravity of their situation was immense, and a hearing scheduled at the employment tribunal loomed.
Despite their critical health condition, our client showed remarkable courage and determination to seek justice. Our dedicated employment team, David and Kath, sprang into action. Their mission was clear: to secure a fair and just resolution for our client without subjecting them to the further stress of a tribunal hearing.
David and the team worked tirelessly to fight for our client, and their efforts culminated in a conciliation settlement agreement with the former employer, which was reached before the hearing started. This brought relief and a much-needed financial settlement to our client.
The case highlights the dedication and expertise of our employment team. Led by David, their efforts and the team’s support showcase the positive impact Citizens Advice Barnet aims to achieve for all our clients, whatever issues they are facing.
