The Government have announced that fees to start and hear claims before the Employment Tribunals will be in place in 2013. The nominal claims such as unlawful deductions will cost £160 to start and a further hearing will cost £230.00 whereas all other claims such as unfair dismissal will cost £260.00 to start and £950 for a hearing.
The official press release is here
The original rationale behind the fees (which was to reduce vexatious claim) has now been abandoned and instead the Government are now suggesting it is reduce the cost of the Tribunal system on the tax payer.
