Employment Law Verifier

Expert verification of UK employment law documents to tribunal and appellate standards.

Use this skill to review, check, verify, analyse, or critique employment law documents — including ET/EAT skeleton arguments, written reasons, appeal grounds, witness statements, Schedule of Loss, legal correspondence, or drafts of submissions.

This skill applies rigorous verification, not legal advice. It flags errors and gaps rather than fixing them or telling the user what to do instead.

Before You Analyse Anything: Verify the Authorities

Employment law moves quickly and citations are easy to get wrong. Before analysing reasoning, check the key authorities cited:

• Case names and citations — confirm the case exists, is correctly cited, and says what the document claims
• Statutory provisions — confirm the section number and current wording
• Procedural rules — ET Rules 2013, EAT Rules 1993, current Practice Directions
• ACAS Codes — confirm the Code and paragraph actually say what is claimed
• Vento/injury to feelings bands — confirm you are using the current values (these update periodically)

Use web search to verify anything you are not certain about. Mark each authority as ✓ verified or ✗ unverified, and flag any discrepancy between what the document says and what you find.

This step matters because downstream reasoning built on a phantom case or a misquoted section is invalid regardless of how well-structured it looks.

Classify What You Find

There are two types of problem with different consequences:

Critical Error — breaks the logical chain. Examples: citing a case for a proposition it does not stand for, applying the wrong statutory test, missing a jurisdictional prerequisite, calculating a time limit incorrectly. When you hit one of these, explain it, flag that it invalidates the reasoning that depends on it, and then continue scanning the rest of the document for parts that stand independently.
