Closing submissions are argument, not evidence. Legal Lens explains how to structure final hearing submissions in Employment Tribunal claims.
A witness statement can feel like the moment to say everything. But in an Employment Tribunal, it is evidence, not argument. Used badly, it can introduce new issues too late, blur the case, create fairness problems and turn final hearing preparation into a procedural dispute.
A hearing bundle can look like the case, but it is not the case. It is the working file of documents the Employment Tribunal uses to follow the issues, evidence and cross-examination at the hearing.
Disclosure is not optional document-sharing. Relevant documents may help your case, harm it, support the other side, or expose problems in the way the case is being put.
