Is an employment tribunal a court of law and subject to the laws of perjury etc.?

I am taking my former employer to tribunal for automatic unfair dismissal after he sacked me when we all volunteered to be laid off, rather than one of us agree to go. Now that he has received the papers, he has fabricated a story that genuinely has no truth whatsoever, even trying to say I accepted voluntary redundancy, despite him not making any redundancy payment. He has submitted this fantasy diatribe as his defence. Can he be prosecuted for perjury / perverting the administration of justice? I can disprove every word of his submission and he knows he has no chance of winning. Also, he has threatened my ex colleagues, both of whom are willing to attend, with the loss of their jobs, if they attend the tribunal to tell the truth!

When you and he give evidence it will be under oath so perjury will apply.

Make sure your case is watertight. Many a person goes into court / tribunal every day a winner and comes out a loser.

Incidentally, you do not have to employ a lawyer but if you do not your chances of winning are greatly reduced. The reason being that you need to know the 'law' as opposed to just thinking you have a good case.
