Following the case of R (on the application of Unison) v Lord Chancellor [2017] UKSC 51, the Supreme Court determined that employment tribunal fees were not lawful. As a result, the Government owes claimants £16 million in rebate.
In December 2018, the Ministry of Justice reported that, since October 2017, the Government had made 21,300 rebates in the sum of £16.95 million.
