Legal News

These are now being published at www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions.

The main free online source for cases, bailii.org, includes Employment Appeal Tribunal decisions and above, but not employment tribunal decisions.

The new resource at www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions started in February 2017, though some decisions from 2016 are currently available.

Employers will be able to search whether a job applicant has taken a previous employer to an employment tribunal. However discriminating on that basis because of an Equality Act claim for example is likely to be unlawful as victimisation.

Also tribunal claims against particular employers, including any criticisms made against them by tribunals, will now be searchable online even if the decision did not go to appeal.

The new website has been added to our list of Free websites for cases and statutes.
