	Employment tribunals: using your last resort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Employment tribunals were created as part of the Industrial Training Act 1964 - although they were initially called industrial tribunals - to consider appeals by employers against training levies.
		It is using the Employment Bill 2001 to attempt to shift the onus of responsibility onto the employee by proposing that they have to exhaust every conceivable means in the workplace to resolve a dispute and only if that fails can they turn to the tribunal service.
		Tribunals are very good at what they do, but few people - less than 1% of successful applicants - are re-instated or re-employed by their employer after a tribunal case.

	employment tribunal
		The Employment Tribunals in the UK are judicial bodies that as described provide a resolution to disputes between employers and their employees.
		An Employment Tribunal is not a court of law but decisions are deemed to be very persuasive and usually go unchallenged.
		Employment Tribunals are empowered to award compensation to the complainant where appropriate along with loss of earnings and other heads of damage.

		Employment Tribunals (previously known as Industrial Tribunals) are independent judicial bodies which hear complaints and make decisions on a range of employment issues.
		There are Employment Tribunal offices in most major cities and all the administration of Tribunal cases is dealt with from those offices.
		Tribunals are an important way of protecting employee’s rights but it can be a mistake to put too much faith in them.

		In most cases tribunals are chaired by a barrister or solicitor appointed by the lord Chancellor and sit with lay representatives with special interests.
		The Employment Tribunals are limited in the remedies they can grant, for example in addition to re-employment or re-engagement (take the employee back) they can award limited compensation, from 1st Feb 2005 it is £56,800.
		The Tribunal is a court of law, and appeal from its decisions lies to the Court of Appeal.

	Employment Tribunals
		Employment Tribunals used to be known as Industrial Tribunals and were designed to give workers "informal" access to the Legal system on matters relating to their employment.
		Tribunals may not accept an application if you have not attempted to use the internal procedures and proof that you have tried may need to be attached to the form.
		Since most people who apply to the Employment Tribunal have, at least, some sort of reasonable case, the main spanner in the works is normally time.

		Tribunal offices are typically submerged under piles of pink files and lots of loose paper.
		Given the increased range of jurisdictions which tribunals now handle, not all parties are up to speed on the law (and often not on all of the procedures either).
		We would also be concerned to protect the close relationship which exists between employment tribunals and ACAS, and which is central to achieving a greater emphasis on alternative forms of dispute resolution.

		Withdrawal takes effect on the date on which the Employment Tribunal Office (in the case of written notifications) or the tribunal (in the case of oral notification) receives notice of it and where the whole claim is withdrawn, subject to paragraph (4), proceedings are brought to an end against the relevant respondent on that date.
		An application for costs which is received by the Employment Tribunal Office later than 28 days from the issuing of the judgment determining the claim shall not be accepted or considered by a tribunal or chairman unless it or he considers that it is in the interests of justice to do so.

	New Labour Attacks Access to Employment Tribunals
		Not content with drastically restricting workers' access to Employment Tribunals and introducing a punitive 'costs regime', New Labour are now intent on restricting the right of appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal.
		Section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 already enjoins tribunals to deal with cases in accordance with ‘equity and the substantial merits of the case’ but there is no evidence that Tribunals do anything other than pay lip-service to this clause.
		The fatuous argument that the time limits are generous compared to those in the civil courts entirely misses the point that Tribunals are not supposed to be part of the Courts system, access to which is extremely difficult for plaintiffs who lack the financial means.

	'Reforming' employment tribunals
		In the last 10 years tribunal claims have trebled to a record 130,000 cases, leading to accusations of a growing "compensation culture".
		The Government also proposed that tribunal users contribute to the cost of dealing with their case arguing that harging a modest amount would bring a faster and more customer-focused service and also raise funding for improvements in the tribunal and conciliation process.

	Looking at Employment Tribunals
		The tribunals have wide powers to determine their own procedures, but are bound by Rules of Procedure and Employment Tribunal Regulations 1996.
		The tribunal may retire or ask the parties and their witnesses to leave the room to consider their decision.

	Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction Of UK Employment Tribunals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The EAT held that in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2001, ERA applies to any employer which "resides or carries on business in England or Wales", irrespective of where the work took place or what the contract says about the applicable law.
		Indeed, given the practical issues which arise in bringing a claim in the Tribunals it seems likely that this will happen only in the context of individuals with some connection with the UK, for example, employees that return to the UK following the termination of their employment.
		Even where an employer has such an offshore arrangement it is still possible that a Tribunal may seek to find grounds that the employee is, in effect, working for the business based in the UK and, on that basis, has the right to bring a claim.
