Welcome to the latest edition of our newsletter, keeping you up to date courtesy of a round up of news from the legal world and topical, useful advice. We hope you find something of interest here and if you would like to make any suggestions for future newsletters, please do let me know. It’s not often the court in which a case was heard is judged to have got the facts wrong, but that is the subject of one of our articles in this issue. There’s also an update on employment tribunals, why you should have a will and a guide on how to avoid mistakes in probate applications. | 
In a recent case, the Employment Appeals Tribunal dismissed an appeal from a Mr Hussey on the grounds that the original Employment Tribunal decision had found as fact that he had not been unfairly dismissed from his job. It is not the job of the EAT to retry facts in any case; it is only there to identify legal flaws in the original decision. Re-examining the issues of fact will not be taken up by the EAT, which is why it is important that you seek professional legal advice when faced with any redundancy or disciplinary dismissal matter. Read the background to this case on our website.
