Courts and Tribunals update

The Government has announced concessions which amount to a U-turn in relation to recently introduced increases to Immigration and Asylum Tribunal fees. https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/courts-and-tribunals-update   

From 25 November  applicants will be charged fees at previous levels and reimbursements of the difference between previous fees and the new (higher) fees will be made.   

The change of heart is to welcomed but it  is disappointing that we have yet to receive any similar news in relation to the level of fees payable to bring claims to Employment tribunals. 

The outcome of the Government’s review of Employment tribunal fees is long-awaited.
