Caroline Lucas – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Caroline Lucas on 2015-10-20.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, pursuant to the Answer of 16 October 2015 to Question 10626, what estimate his Department has made of the average cost to a claimant, including tribunal fees, time spent on case, travel and communication, and advice and representation, of issuing and pursuing an employment tribunal claim.

For those on low incomes a remissions scheme exists allowing for partial or full remission fees paid.

The total cost to a claimant will vary depending on the length, complexity and outcome of the claim, and whether the claim goes to a tribunal hearing.
