Waterfront’s Anthony Purvis and Jamie Webster comment in the Times on the Employment Tribunal backlog and the Employment Rights Bill

Waterfront’s Head of Employment Anthony Purvis and employment Associate Jamie Webster co-authored an article in The Times last week.

The article deals with the longstanding backlog of cases waiting to be determined in the Employment Tribunals and the lengthy delays that employers and employees often experience when engaging in litigation. Jamie and Anthony go on to explain that the Employment Rights Bill currently making its way through Parliament is likely to exacerbate the issues with the Tribunal system unless they are coupled with large-scale judicial recruitment or investment into the system.
