Employment tribunals

Employment rights are enforced in the employment tribunal. For example, employment tribunals consider complaints of unfair dismissal and discrimination. Employment tribunals can also consider breach of contract claims if the value of the claim does not exceed £25,000.

Employment tribunal proceedings are started by the claimant completing and submitting an ET1 claim form within the required time limit. The ET3 response form is the employer's response to the claim form.

Fees are payable and an early conciliation process must be followed before an employment tribunal claim can proceed.

    No-win no-fee lawyers: experts debate the issues

    by Phil Boucher 1 Jul 2009
    by Phil Boucher 1 Jul 2009

    The Ministry of Justice has announced plans to clamp down on 'no-win, no-fee' lawyers. These damages-based actions, known as 'contingency fee agreements' , are most common in Employment Tribunal proceedings, and have been held partly responsible for the huge rise in equal pay claims being brought to tribunal. But is the clampdown necessary? And will it make any real difference?
