Employment Tribunal Explainer Videos
Employment Tribunal Judges have written and produced a series of videos to help you if you are bringing a claim to an Employment Tribunal or defending a claim that has been made against you.
Some videos explain different parts of the tribunal procedure and some videos tell you about what might happen at a hearing.
Other videos explain some of the more difficult legal principles such as different legal types of discrimination which you will need to understand. You can access the videos on their YouTube channel by clicking on this link.

Amazing award from The Julia Rausing Trust
We are delighted to announce that the Tower Hamlets Law Centre has been awarded a fantastic three year grant from the Julia Rausing Trust in support of our work. Like many law centres, we face an ever tougher funding environment at a time of rising demand for our services. So this important grant will go a long way to ensuring we can continue to support communities in Tower Hamlets and reach more people in need. It’s a vote of confidence in the importance of our work and we extend our sincere thanks to the Julia Rausing Trust for their wonderful support.
THLC welcomes fines for rogue landlords
Tower Hamlets Law Centre welcomes the news that the rogue landlords responsible for the overcrowding at Maddocks House have been convicted and fined.
Maddocks House was meant to accommodate three people, but the landlords forced up to 23 people into the property, with eight sleeping in one room. This situation came to light when a fire destroyed the property, killing one resident and making the others homeless.
We were able to intercede on behalf of some of the traumatised survivors, and were able to assist them in securing long-term accommodation. The work we did to achieve these positive outcomes goes to the heart of the role we play in the community, ensuring that those most at risk are able to secure their rights in law. We are proud of the role we played in helping those thrown into such a dire situation.
Tower Hamlets council has more details about the successful prosecution.
