Reconsideration

A procedure under Rule 71 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure enabling a party to request that the ET reconsiders its own decision. Applications must be made within 14 days of the decision and be supported by grounds showing why it would be in the interests of justice for the decision to be reconsidered. It is sometimes used as a precursor to appealing the decision in the EAT which is a separate process. We can advise you how best to use this procedure.
