Appeal to a court of law

What are the prospects for an appeal to a court (and, potentially, the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court), after a tribunal hearing and in place of a tribunal hearing.? What about a class action?

If you disagree with a tribunal decision you can appeal to the Upper Tribunal and subsequently the Court of Appeal, but it has to be based on an error of law.

As Derek said must be on a point of law, and not simply because you disagree with a Tribunal decision.

As for a class action these are only taken by a group of people against a party, if that group of people have all suffered detriment because of the the same thing.

e.g. A group take a class action against a drug company because they have all suffered due to taking one particular drug manufactured by said company.

All the above is in very broad lay terms.

This description could conceivably used against the DWP and/or Atos thus:-

A group take a class action against the DWP/Atos because they have all suffered due to the particular actions by said organisations.

Unfortunately attractive as it may sound, I very much doubt that this argument would ever surmount the first barrier in consideration of any legal action before the courts.

I agree case actions work because its one drug all given for the same reason.... will ATOS/DWP everybody has a different illness been seen by many differnt drs and are having different treatments

to work against atos/dwp there would have to have be a document giving all drs instructions on how to deal with people in a way thats wrong unfair or unjust ...find that smoking gun
