history profile and relevant medical reports.

earnings;

earnings;

We have been involved in a range of claims
concerning work-related stress. As well as assessing future employability of the
Claimants, we have been asked to assist in determining liability evidence. The employment
policies, procedures and practices of the Defendants are examined to determine how these
compare with recommended practice, and practice in organisations of a similar size or in a
similar sector.
The actual events are compared with what a
reasonable employer in similar circumstances should have known and done.

be proportionate to the claim, or allowed by the Court. However, accurate factual
information on earnings and employment issues may be required.
