No tribunal fees

[ch 18: page 128]

All employment tribunal claims are once again free of charge, as a result of a landmark Supreme Court challenge brought by public services union UNISON (see Chapter 1). Fees were abolished in July 2017, after the Supreme Court that pronounced them unlawful, unconstitutional and discriminatory (UNISON v The Lord Chancellor [2017] UKSC 51).
