Response to the Resolving Workplace Disputes consultation published

On the 23rd November 2011, the government published their response to the Resolving Workplace Disputes consultation.

The government have announced several employment law revisions which include:

The limits of costs costs awards in an Employment Tribunal to be increased from £10,000 to £20,000
Employment Tribunal Judges are to sit alone in claims for unfair dismissal
Possible financial penalties may be payable to the exchequer where there is a breach of employment rights that has aggravated features.

We will issue a more detailed assessment and summarise any changes to employment law when more information is available.
