Employment tribunal

R (on the application of Unison) v Lord Chancellor (Equality and Human Rights Commission intervening) [2015] EWCA Civ 935, [2015] All ER (D) 120 (Aug)

The Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal against the introduction of fees for bringing claims in the employment tribunals and appeals from such claims. It held that the Employment Tribunal and the Employment Appeal Tribunal Fees Order 2013 (SI 2013/1893), had not breached the principle of effectiveness, had not been indirectly discriminatory and had not been introduced in breach of the public sector equality duty provided for by s 149 of the Equality Act 2010.
