Equality of Arms – Natural Justice. It is wholly unfair for those employees’ who cannot afford legal representation to represent themselves in circumstances where employers are able to retain a firm of solicitors. If proceedings are to be fair, just, and equitable, then there needs to be ‘equality of arms’.
The fact remains, that the employee is ‘outgunned’ from the moment they lodge a grievance letter. The Natural Justice letter is an opportunity for the case officer to be fair with you. Yes, they can be nice!
Information given in visa application must be considered by the Department to decide whether to grant or refuse you a visa. How to respond to a natural justice letter? Are natural justice letters becoming more common?
What is the definition of natural justice? The ‘battleground’ is uneven, the “equality of arms” suborned to whomever can buy the best weapons, men, armour and generals to lead the charge! This fact is not lost upon the employer! I am speaking from my own experiences, when I say that the employer will likely abuse the power which it delegates. Therefore, don’t provide the employer that opportunity!
FACT: A well written grievance lettergives the employer little wiggle room.
See full list on formalgrievance. Invoking Article of the Human Rights Act does not apply in the grievance procedure to “ordinary employees”. Employees’ may also be unaware that legal aid cannot be obtained to represent them in a Tribunal (except in unusual circumstances). However, it should be said that employees’ may be eligible to obtain legal aid to help them establish their case, where the employee has been “dismissed”. This is the very purpose of this site.
To aid employees’ in the knowledge of their employment rights, and make the battleground a more even playing field. An employer who acts “capriciously” runs the risk of the employee referring to the Employment Tribunal to obtain “effective remedy and redress” to their grievances. Given the fact there are 0Employment Tribunal claims lodged weekly in the UK, it induces the opinion that not many employers observe the aforementioned. The employee is not likely to have much (if any) knowledge of UK employment law, whereas the employer will undoubtedly have an Officer within its Human Resources Department who has received specialist training in employment matters, and whom will have access to professional legal advice. It will be seen as bringing a gun to a handfight.
So, how is the grievance procedure fair? Time and research are essential, before you embark on lodging your grievance letter. You want to make sure that the gr. The principle of equality of arms:- “One of the elements of the broader concept of a fair trial is the principle of equality of arms, which requires each party to be given a reasonable opportunity to present his or her case under conditions that do not place him or her at a substantial disadvantage vis-à-vis his opponent.
Natural justice is binding upon both public and private entities. The principles of natural justice were derived from the Romans, who believed that some legal principles were “natural” or self-evident and did not require a statutory basis. A person who makes a decision should be “unbiased” and act in “good faith”. The good faith performance covers all aspects of the employment contract, and includes both the employer and employee observing the “implied” and “expressed” terms of the employment contract.
An example of this is when either the employee or employer prevents one side of the party performing the contract, or delaying the contract.
Good faith” requires moral or ethical standards in which the employee and employer deal with each other, such as the implied term of “mutual trust and confidence“. In that case, if you believe that the wrong decision was made and there are valid reasons to hold this belief, you can explain those. I could not find anything about a natural justice letter in this forum, hence this new topic.

There is no one size fits all response as a natural justice letter will be specific to your situation. As such you will not receive any specific insight on a forum. Take some professional advice and act quickly. Firstly, the ‘no bias’ rule requires that the investigator must be free of bias or conflict of interest.
