Employment tribunal decisions

Yes. Since 2017 every employment tribunal judgment in England, Wales and Scotland is published in a public online register run by the Ministry of Justice, and anyone can read it without an account or a fee. Names of the claimant and the employer appear in the title of the decision. Older cases, and cases settled before a hearing, will not be there.

No. The register contains every published judgment, including claims the employer won, claims dismissed on a technical point such as being brought out of time, preliminary rulings on procedure, and consent judgments where the parties agreed an outcome. The title alone tells you nothing about who succeeded, which is why every result here links straight to the official decision rather than being summarised.

Yes. Type the employer's name in the box above. Decision titles are free text typed by tribunal staff, so a firm can appear under a trading name, an old name, or with the Ltd left off. Search the shortest distinctive part of the name, then check the results against the company record.

On its own, rarely. A single claim at a company with 200 staff is unremarkable, and employers win a substantial share of the claims brought against them. A pattern is different information: several claims in a short period, or claims that repeat the same subject, is worth knowing before you take a job or sign a contract. Read the decisions rather than counting them.

The online register starts in 2017 for England and Wales and covers Scotland from the same period. Decisions before that were kept in a physical register and are not published online, so absence of a decision is not evidence that a firm has never been to a tribunal.

Every result here has a link that runs a free CheckAFirm company check on the respondent's name. That shows the company status, age, overdue filings, insolvency history and the directors' other companies, which is the context a decision title does not give you.
