Home > FAQ > Employment Law FAQ's > Should we try to settle out of court rather than fight a claim?

If you can settle on reasonable terms outside of court, it makes sense to do so. However, it is worth considering fighting the claim if:

  • You can prove the other party is wrong, but they are refusing to see it
  • There are circumstances that are likely to have a significant effect on an award you are ordered to pay
  • You consider that settling out of court will set a detrimental precedent to other employees and bring about more trouble in the future

Do not make these decisions alone – seek the advice of a lawyer with experience in Employment Tribunals by contacting Helix Law.
