Wage-theft claim: Ella needs $2,600 before the deadline
A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Ella can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 Nottingham, England, United Kingdom3,088 views
Ella is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,600. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Ella has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Nottingham Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Ella could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,950
• Filing and biometrics fees: $500
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $150
