The Ministry of Justice has finally published its post-implementation review of the introduction of fees in the employment tribunals and EAT. The review concludes that the fees regime is working well and that some individuals may have been discouraged but not prevented from bringing claims. It will be interesting to see whether the Supreme Court agrees when it hears the UNISON judicial review case at the end of March 2017. The only changes proposed by the Ministry are minor changes to the regime for remission of fees (for consultation until 14 March 2017), and the exemption from fees for certain claims under the national insurance fund (with immediate effect).
