Court of Appeal rejects union's challenge over employment tribunal fees

摘要

The Court of Appeal has rejected UNISON s appeal against the government's introduction of employment tribunal fees. UNISON has vowed to take its battle to the Supreme Court. According to Clyde & Co, the number of tribunal claims has fallen dramatically since the fee regime was first introduced. Statistics show that, overall, there was a decrease of 52 per cent of single claims received in 2014/2015 compared to 2013/2014 with a fall of up to 83 per cent of equal pay claims since the introduction of the fees.
