How to prepare a scott schedule for a direct discrimination claim
In a discrimination claim, the Employment Judge may ask you to provide a schedule detailing the discriminatory claim you are complaining of. Claims must be presented in accordance with the relevant statutory test in the Equality Act 2010. This schedule is called a Scott Schedule and is usually a precursor to another preliminary hearing. At the preliminary hearing the Employment Judge will consider whether your claims are out of time and whether your claims fall within the requirements of the Equality Act. If your claim that does not meet the requirements will be struck out, or you could be asked to pay a deposit order of up to £1000 for each allegation, in order to continue.
