Reform of the Judicial Appeal Procedure

Additional Information

At present, an Employment dispute is considered by an Employment tribunal. There is then a right of appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal. Thereafter an appeal can be persued in the Court of Appeal and thereafter a further appeal to the Supreme Court thereafter further appeal can be taken to the European Court of Human Rights.

All of the above appeal procedures take a lengthy period of time and cost a substantial sum employing solicitors and barristers.

Furthermore numerous judicial officers are employed at great public expense

Alternatively for other disputes there is the County Court/High Court, with subsequent appeals to the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

Reform is needed so that there is one first instance decision with a right of appeal to a Court of Appeal and then the option of applying to the European Court of Human Rights.

Obtaining justice will become cheaper and quicker.
