The Employment Appeal Tribunal has handed down its decision in Faleye v UKME, which confirms that there is no right for a claimant in the Employment Tribunal to have his or her case managed in the Tribunal region which covers his or her place of work. Transfers between regions are not governed by the Employment Tribunal Rules and can be made for any reason that seems good to Regional Employment Judges, subject only to any question of the transfer giving rise to injustice.
Injustice can arise where the Tribunal office is remote from where one or more of the parties are based, but there was no injustice in this case, which concerned a transfer from London South to London Central.
