In his latest article, Beach Hut Specialist Richard Ramshaw discusses how much a beach hut is likely to set you back, why some are so expensive and the process involved in buying.
ACAS has just published a lengthy research paper on the effect of its conciliation processes in employment tribunal claims. There is an enormous amount of material in the report for those interested in employment tribunal statistics.
One particularly interesting point in the report, in light of the current debate around tribunal fees, are the reasons given for claimants withdrawing their cases - 27% said they thought they would not win or that it would be a waste of time, 20% said that the tribunal fees (presumably hearing fees) were off-putting and 17% said they found the process too stressful.
Comment
"The sample of people using the early conciliation process is small, but this report represents some of the best information we have about reasons for the withdrawal of claims," comments Head of Employment Paul Burton.
