Tribunal fees: a failed challenge but an unclear future | Practical Law
Unison’s latest application to the Court of Appeal to overturn the introduction of fees in the employment tribunal system has failed.

But while the latest legal challenge has failed, the future of tribunal fees remains the subject of much debate.
