Tribunal archive dating back to early '60s could be shredded
The entire Employment Tribunal Judgment archive, dating back to the early 1960s, could be shredded in the next week or so unless a permanent home for the records can be found.
The Ministry of Justice will only keep six years’ worth of cases in future, although it has postponed shredding the rest until mid-January.
Robin White, Old Square Chambers, says: “There is an urgent need to finance the removal of the judgments from their present store in Bury-St-Edmunds and find storage for them. There are 5,200 folios which presently occupy 414m of shelf space. A local removals firm has quoted £6,800 (excluding VAT) for boxing and moving them, for example, to central London. The two urgent requirements are to find storage and to finance the move. Can you, or your firm help?”
