Hi everyone

I got my letter for a preliminary scheduled alongside the notice of claim to the respondent and it says it’s scheduled for over a year from now?

Is this normal for the Newcastle area? I’m quite surprised cause I heard my region is not doing as bad as some others like London, so I’m a bit confused.

This is for case management, so I’m not sure of what to expect with settlement possibility before then, if that is to be low with the respondent having insurance backed litigation. If someone can advise if the preliminary date being scheduled far in advance means settlement talks will be low, so I know whether to rest until 2027 :)

Hello everyone

When I was employed, almost all work related matters were done on WhatsApp, including private messages between themselves and through the group chat and Management Group Chat.

The official policy for our workplace was that they were supposed to use Teams.

Am I allowed to request disclosure of these WhatsApps if I keep my disclosure period short and within the period of discrimination? I’m not sure if they would try to cite that as it was not an ‘official communication method’ that they do not need to provide it.
