Well impressed to see this advert this morning for today's game. It's got my family and friends phoning and talking about the game, lets hope it gets peoples interest going on this windy, cool day-get down to Belle Vue!! What else is there to do!

Its makes me cringe just hearing that name, she may know the law but she knows nothing about Salad.

Can you explain that vastman - who told you that ACAS have decided the claims have merit and what, exactly, do you mean when you say that they've 'accepted the case' and 'taken it on?'

No I won't tell you who told me, why should I know one else on here does yet feel they feel they have instant credibility.

I'd say it was obvious. However here goes, the famous six go to a brief, he says yeah you may have a case, the individuals fill in the forms, ACAS look at them and say "yeah" we'll investigate your claims and get back to you if there is a claim and we'll go to the next level.

What I'm clearly not saying is that the famous six have won their case or even taken full legal action yet. What I'm saying is that they are over the significant first hurdle, in which ACAS one would assume use to sift out the no hopers..

What I'd like to know from you is do you want to see justice or have you only the interest of the new club at heart. You made it very clear on your last post that for you employment law or justice as I call it only applies if it's convenient.

You should get someone you trust to read the first three paragraphs of that, so they can tell you how petulant it sounds.

Meanwhile - it reads like it's been regurgitated from something one of the claimants has told you; it doesn't actually contain any substantive information about the processes that would have to have been followed to get a claim in front of the tribunal. I'm still confused about the statement that ACAS have decided there is a case to answer, unless it's gone straight to arbitration rather than before the tribunal?

It's true, I am very cynical about employment law and the tribunal system - that's because it's far too easy to bring a vexatious claim in the first place, and because there's an army of no-win no-fee vultures waiting to exploit the fact that most small to medium employers can't afford to defend a claim, regardless of its merits.

In this instance, if the claim is from family members who were on the payroll, it doesn't feel like justice will be served by an award for being dismissed from a company that their old man ran into the ground.

Either way, if it does go to tribunal it will be in the public domain, so I suppose we'll know soon enough.
