The Employment Tribunal and the Employment Court

Abstract

In the controversy that has accompanied the introduction of the Employment Contracts Act 1991, appreciation of the significant jurisdictional changes made by the legislation have understandably taken second place to the expression of wider concerns. The aim of this note is to examine aspects of the new Employment Tribunal and Employment Court within the overall framework of the 1991 Act. At the time of writing, the relevant Part of the 1991 Act has yet to come into force.
