The Work Couch: What to expect at an employment tribunal: Appearing as a witness, with Kim Wright and Joseph England

Welcome to The Work Couch, the podcast where we discuss all things employment.

In the first instalment of our series on what to expect at an employment tribunal, host Ellie Gelder is joined by Kim Wright, senior associate, from our employment, engagement and equality team, and Joseph England, a barrister from 3PB Chambers who specialises in employment law, to talk about appearing as a witness. We discuss:

• How employment tribunals differ from civil courts;
• Who may be required to appear as a witness;
• Preparation of witness statements;
• What to expect on the day of the hearing itself;
• Tricky but common scenarios, including: illness, travel disruption, and giving evidence from overseas; and
• Key dos and don'ts when giving evidence at, or attending, a virtual hearing.
