The final hearing

In the event that the claim is not settled it will be necessary for the parties and their respective witnesses to attend at the Tribunal to give evidence at a final hearing. The case will be heard at the Tribunal office where the claim was issued, and will be heard by either a Chairperson sitting alone or a bench of three.

Evidence will be given during the course of the hearing, and at the conclusion of the evidence the Chairperson may deliver their judgment. The Chairperson may wish to consider matters in greater depth before deciding a case and may decide to reserve judgment. This means that the judgment will be given in writing and sent to the parties.

In the event that the Claimant is successful the Tribunal will either deal with the issue of remedy and compensation at the final hearing, or it may alternatively list the case for a remedy hearing at a later date.
