Although no date has been set, the following changes are going to be implementd to the Employment Tribunal process. It is likely to come into force in April 2012
- With the exception of discrimination claims, the qualifiying period of employment for being able to lodge a claim will double from 12 months to 2 years
- Claimants will have to pay a fee to lodge a claim and for it to be heard at tribunal. This is likely to come into force in 2013. Claimants will have to pay between £150 and £250 to lodge a claim with a fee of a minimum of £1000 for it to go to a hearing. If they win their case, the fees will be refunded. It will be interesting to see if these fees are paid by the 'no win - no fee' representatives.
