Judgment

A Judgment is a decision by a court or tribunal.

All Judgments reached by the Employment Appeal Tribunal are published on their website here.

Judgments reached by Employment Tribunals are sent to the parties, but are not published, although copies of Judgments can be obtained for a fee if you know the names of the parties to the case or the case number.

Jurisdiction

Jurisdiction means the right and power to apply the law. The employment tribunal has jurisdiction to hear a extensive list of employment related claims, for example, claims of unfair dismissal or claims of sex discrimination. The employment tribunal does not have jurisdiction to hear some matters such as personal injury claims or contractual claims exceeding £25,000.
