  • Lord chancellor confirms he wants to bring back tribunal fees

    http://www2.cipd.co.uk/pm/peoplemana...unal-fees.aspx




    David Lidington says the controversial costs prevent ‘frivolous or vexatious’ claims
    The lord chancellor yesterday told MPs that his department intends to bring back employment tribunal fees.
    In July, the Supreme Court decided that employment tribunal fees were unlawful and should be abolished.


    However, speaking in front of the justice select committee yesterday morning, David Lidington pointed out that the judgment did not rule out charging fees entirely. “We still intend to charge fees,” he said. “I think it is necessary as a contribution to costs. It is also necessary and sensible as a deterrent to frivolous or vexatious litigation and that was something the court itself acknowledged.”

    Oh Charity you are a wag

    What he really said was

    It is only right that there are exorbitant fees to prevent the proletariat asserting their legal rights and claiming the protection of the law. After all we don't want the dividends paid to shareholder oops I mean members of Parliament reduced.
