正文(英文) | Government to boost capacity in employment tribunal system, giving quicker outcomes for employees and employersBusiness Minister Paul Scully introduces raft of technical changes to increase flexibility to employment tribunal system.
A raft of changes to boost hearing capacity in employment tribunals has been introduced into Parliament by Business Minister Paul Scully today (Thursday 17 September). The reforms will give the system more flexibility in light of the global COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. They will also allow tribunals to deal with increasing caseloads, following the abolition of employment tribunal fees in July 2017. The government is changing employment tribunal rules to allow more flexibility for remote hearings and reduce the burden on courts, claimants and respondents. These changes will help tribunals hear more cases and make courts space available for other urgent cases, an important step in addressing the impacts of COVID-19. The reforms will assist tribunals in ensuring the speedier delivery of justice for businesses and workers. Business Minister Paul Scully said:
Courts Minister, Chris Philp, said:
One of the changes being made will allow the judiciary the option of deploying non-employment judges into employment tribunals, if certain criteria on suitability are met. This will help the employment tribunal system deal with demand, reducing unnecessary delays. The government is also changing employment tribunal rules to allow more flexibility over virtual hearings. The change will reduce the need for physical hearings in the future making it easier for claimants and respondents, who, for example, will not need to pay travel costs. This follows a recent £80 million boost for HM Courts and Tribunal Service to meet the unprecedented challenge presented by the pandemic to:
This is on top of a major £142 million investment across the courts system announced in July to speed up technological improvements and modernise courtrooms. Other changes being implemented include:
The measures for the employment tribunal rules, use of legal officers and cross-deployment of judges will come into force on 8 October. The measures on early conciliation will come into force 1 December.
