Yeah I kinda knew they dont decide, they, I guess, mediate and try and get both sides to agree to a settlement before going to court/tribunal?

I thought it was expected you'd do this first, before going the whole hog was all. The 2 fellas seem to be not wanting to do that, and to just have a fight in public, which is of course their right.

They have to go through the motions, but it will still end up at the tribunal, it's like couples going to mediation, they already know they're going still end up divorced.

Ah ok cheers, so they will do that still, that was the bit I wasnt sure about.

I get it won't help, but thought it was a requirement before a tribunal.
 
You have to tell them when you're planning on going to tribunal, they come in and say please can you talk to each other and resolve this, everyone says no, the tribunal goes ahead. In unfair dismissal cases like this it's just going through the motions, it will still end up going to the tribunal.

It's almost as pointless as the appeals process. Ehab sacks someone, they appeal, Ehab hears the appeal and says, nah, you're still sacked. Compete waste of time.
I've never had any experience of them personally, they're basically just mediators, they don't actually decide anything.

In a case like this, going through them is unlikely to achieve anything, it's just a formality, it will still end up going to a tribunal as neither side is going to back down.

They're obviously going to raise the cash they need, so we'll find out how good their case is soon enough.
For such an expert on this subject you keep getting things wrong.
Plenty settle at the acas stage. But you know this and are just taking the piss, I expect
