Tribunal quarterly statistics for April to June 2023 and award statistics for 2022/2023 have been published
The latest quarterly statistics have been released by The Ministry of Justice (although they have included a word of caution when comparing data due to a transition to a new database).
In short, the first quarter of 2023/24 statistics show:
- The Employment Tribunal received 24,000 claims and disposed of 14,000 claims. Single claim receipts have returned to pre-Covid19 levels.
- At the end of the first quarter, the total number of outstanding single claims was 35,000 (which is continuing to rise due to the disparity between claims received and claims disposed of).
The report has included compensation information and other statistics for the year 2022/2023. In terms of compensation figures:
- Compensation was awarded in 790 unfair dismissal claims. This is an increase of 24% compared to 2021/22. The maximum award was £184,000 and the average award was £12,000.
- Compensation was awarded in 300 discrimination claims. The maximum award was £1,770,000 for disability discrimination.
