In often difficult times, some recent cases have demonstrated how the civil justice system continues to function well. Writing in NLJ this week, Patrick Allen, NLJ columnist and senior partner of Hodge Jones & Allen, highlights the impact of three significant judgments that have held the government to account, including the ‘extraordinary’ Unison case on employment tribunal fees. Allen calls for impediments to justice to be dismantled to ensure that such cases can continue to be brought ‘for the health of our constitution and civil rights’.
