56% Increase In Employment Tribunal Claims………..

12/07/2010 by admin.

Claims to Employment Tribunals have dramatically increased this year, reports the Tribunal Service on the 2009-10 statistics.  Claims have soared to 236,100 in the twelve months to the end of March 2010.

The increase in claims is largely as the result of multiple claimant claims.  The largest single category of claims were those relating to Working Time – 95,200 claims.  Unfair dismissal claims rose from 52,700 to 57,400 and breach of contract claims rose from 32,800 to 42,400.
