Substantive delays in the Employment Tribunal & the impact this has on employers and employees

In this episode 249 of the podcast I bring you my thoughts on the substantive delays in the employment tribunal process which are hindering access to justice for employees and increasing costs and stress for employers and employees.

In this episode I cover:

• My own and my colleagues first hand experience of the delays in the employment tribunal.
• A summary of the latest employment tribunal statistics published detailing the number of cases that have been submitted and the number of cases that are currently in the system.
• Some real life cases where judgements have been issued and published recently.
• My thoughts on why the system is 'broken' and why it is only going to get worse.
• How I would change the system to reduce delays and volume of cases.
