Labour Law Highlights 2014
The production of this publication each year requires reflection on the changes we have undergone in the last 12 months. The biggest change felt this year was the 2013 introduction of fees in employment tribunals. The most oft quoted figure has been the reduction of claims by 79%. There are real issues with access to justice but with a general election to take place in the coming year, no political party has committed to repealing the fees.
