If you need to register an Appeal but need someone to manage the whole process for you then this is for you.
If register an appeal with the First-tier Tribunal (Special Education Needs and Disability) but do not have the time or the capacity to represent yourself throughout your appeal then I can do this for you.
I offer a tribunal case management Service and will represent your case on your behalf in the tribunal case management service until two weeks before the tribunal hearing.
I do not however represent at the actual tribunal hearing. You can represent yourself if you wish, or I can help to arrange legal representation for you for the hearing date.
The tribunal management service is where I will, on your behalf:
-
Write the Grounds of Appeal and tribunal form
-
Register the appeal with the First-tier Tribunal (Special Education Needs and Disability)
-
Liaise with the local authority
-
Liaise with the First-tier Tribunal (Special Education Needs and Disability)

-

-
Liaise with the local authority with all working documents after version 2
-

-
Confirm your witnesses to First-tier Tribunal (Special Education Needs and Disability)
-
Write the Case Statement
-

And much more
This service is individualised based on every case; some appeals are straightforward, whereas others are not. It is therefore not possible for me to offer a fixed fee for the tribunal case management.
The main larger invoices are when I need to write the grounds of appeal and tribunal appeal form, the working document version 2, and the case statement.
The invoices for this service are based on a £30 per hour fee, broken down into 15-minute intervals and invoiced to you weekly. Where no work is done in any given week then you will not be invoiced as there is no retainer fee.
