Doughty Street Chambers' Employment, Discrimination and Equality Law Team delivered the second in our seminar series on Stress at Work Claims in the Employment Tribunal and Civil Courts, members of our Stress at Work team presented a webinar on ‘Concurrent Claims and Issues arising’.

The webinar examined substantive questions on res judicata and abuse of process, including examining estoppel arguments, but also gave a strategic insight into procedural questions arising from stayed proceedings and settlement agreements. Our employment practitioners considered these points from an anticipatory standpoint, asking how employment claims can be crafted in order to avoid res judicata issues arising in future civil claims.

Our personal injury barristers then considered these issues from a different angle, asking how arguments in the civil courts can be developed so to avoid aspects of their claims being struck out.

The webinar focused on the substantive and procedural issues from employment and personal injury standpoints, before applying these ideas to different factual scenarios.
