Employment Tribunals are typically open to the public, meaning anyone can attend and observe the proceedings. This transparency is fundamental to the judicial system, aimed at ensuring fairness and accountability.
Employment Tribunal records are also public, unless an anonymity order or confidentiality requirement is in place.
All Employment Tribunal judgements are now collated and published on the UK Government’s tribunal decisions website, which can be accessed publicly. Here, you can search by party name, jurisdiction code, date, or keyword. You can also set up alerts to receive decisions directly to your inbox.
There is no ability to remove judgements from the website and therefore employers should be aware of the potential risk of adverse publicity, in particular where written reasons for the judgement are requested and the company has been criticised by the Employment Judge.
When presented with a claim against your business, it’s vital that you have access to specialist, expert advice and employment law support to help ensure the best outcome for your business. Our team of employment lawyers can look after you, and your case, throughout the life of a claim.
