FORMER Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro’s constructive dismissal case against the club will begin its first tribunal hearing today.
The preliminary hearing will take place at the London South Employment Tribunal in Croydon and is expected to be in private before an employment judge.
The hearing will fix the timetable for the case and deal with witness statements and disclosure of documents — including texts and emails — by each side, as well as any procedural disputes that exist between the two parties.
A date for a full hearing could be fixed for some time in June but there may be another preliminary hearing arranged before that takes place. The two sides may also agree to a settlement before the case is heard.
Chelsea filed their defence in the case last month.
Carneiro also has a separate personal legal action against former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, who left the club in December, for alleged victimisation and discrimination. Carneiro was criticised by Mourinho after she tended to injured Eden Hazard in August.
