Ok I was dismissed by a former employer and I brought a case of unfair dismissal, this went to a tribunal hearing which I won , however even though I won the case the judge reduced my compensation by 75% because It was concluded that I was partly to blame for the dismissal, and in any event even had the employer followed a fair procedure the likelihood of me be dismissed anyway was 80%. The judge's final ruling regarding compensation is a reduction of 75% only and no more. What the respondents solicitors are trying to say is that they want to reduce compensation by 80% and 75%. Whilst I fully understand that there was an 80% chance I would have been dismissed in any event the judge has not stated that my compensation should be reduced by both, the judges findings, and conclusions only mention one deduction and that is a figure of 75% to both the basic and compensatory award, anyone else think that other than me the solicitors are trying to pull a fast one to reduce compensation even further

If the judge reduced the compensation by 75%, the OP would only end up with 25% of the awarded amount.

But if the solicitors want to reduce the compensation by 80% x 75% then he will end up with 40% of the awarded amount, so clearly he should accept their offer without delay.

Hi firstly many thanks for your reply I appreciate it, pardon my ignorance but could I just ask you a couple of things regarding your reply, I would be quite happy to receive 25% of what I have asked for rather than go to a remedy hearing, basically my losses are about £10, 000 take away what the judge has stated ie 75% would leave me with £2500 , however as mentioned the respondents solicitors want to try and deducted a lot more than the tribunal judge has set out in her findings, unless I'm seriously missing something out here. Once again thank you for all your help and sorry for coming across as a right thicky

Seek proper legal advice. The judge has made a ruling. The other side seems to want the compensation reduced further, your side needs to ask for the opposite. The judge can choose either or tell both sides to shut up and the original ruling stands.

Nobody here can help.
