A programming bug appears to have arisen with the online ET1 form.
On the first main page of the form (screenshot below), the online system is insisting, wrongly, that the required information is not completed - and is not letting users progress to the next page.
It is therefore necessary to lodge ET1s by hand if facing a limitation deadline (email and fax copies are no longer permitted). Not all tribunal hearing centres will accept an ET1 by hand - the list of tribunals which will accept hand delivery of an ET1 is on page 7 of this leaflet. Bear in mind hard copy forms, when being posted, must be posted to the Leicester or Glasgow processing centres, not the local tribunal. Also bear in mind that the Xmas post will cause delay - watch out for limitation problems.
