Issue 768

Risks of worker exploitation

In order to ensure that the law is effective in terms of protecting workers from ill-treatment, the government wants testimony to show where it is not working.

Correct assessment

Even if a tribunal decides that an employer dismissed their employee unfairly, it can still justify a lack of recompense if the employee would have left anyway.

Vexatious claims

If an individual brings multiple, unfounded tribunal claims, the government’s legal adviser can ask for a sanction that prevents them from continuing to do so.
