Employment Tribunal Update
Alan Kitto
The minutes of the most recent Employment Tribunals User Group meeting show that the most recent ET statistics show 165% increase in single claims, not quite back to the pre-tribunal fee levels but approaching that level.
One very concerning fact is that at least one Employment Tribunal is now listing cases for hearing as far ahead as 2020 and social media is reporting that the Manchester and Croydon Employment Tribunals are listing cases into 2021.
Some of these delays will be eased by the appointment of more salaried Employment Judges over the next year.
