What is a settlement agreement?
A settlement agreement is a contract between an employee and employer under which the employee settles employment claims, usually agreeing to end their employment. To understand what a settlement agreement is, why your employer may have offered you one and how the process works, please see our comprehensive guide for employees.
Where would a tribunal claim from Leamington Spa be heard?
An employment tribunal claim is presented centrally online and then allocated to a region. HMCTS guidance T420 allocates CV postcodes to the Midlands (West) region, so a Leamington Spa claim may be handled by Midlands (West) Employment Tribunal at Centre City Tower, 5-7 Hill Street, Birmingham B5 4UU.
