Employment Tribunal Fees update

The Supreme Court decided on Monday 29 February 2016 to grant Unison permission to appeal the Court of Appeal's decision rejecting Unison's judicial review application of the employment tribunal fee regime.

Comment

Employment Associate Paul Burton says, "This continues the long-running saga of the case concerning tribunal fees. Unison has failed with two previous attempts to get the tribunal fee regime rendered unlawful, the last because they did not provide any specific examples of individuals not being able to afford to make a reasonable, claim, rather than simply being unwilling to do so. Without this additional evidence, it is hard to see how Unison will succeed with this appeal, but we will inform you of the decision as soon as we receive it. This is likely to be a lot later in the year."
