Q: "We lost a case of unfair dismissal in the Employment Tribunal. We believe that the Tribunal did not take fully into account the difficulties under which we have to work. Can we appeal?"
A: Almost certainly not. In general you can appeal only on a point of law and not against the Tribunal's finding of facts. If this is a hugely important problem for you, then present all the facts to an employment law solicitor, but you are likely to get the same response. It is just possible that a higher court may consider that the original Tribunal’s finding on the evidence presented was perverse but I would not bet on it.
