Abstract
Employment law is civil rather than criminal and almost all cases are decided by an Industrial Tribunal rather than in one of the normal courts of law. The Tribunals have permanent offices in the larger centres of population and consist of a legally qualified chairman and two other members appointed by the Secretary of State for employment after consultations with, respectively, organisations representing employers and organisations representing employees. Their activities are governed by Industrial Tribunals (Rules of Procedure) Regulations 1985. An application form may be obtained from any job centre or unemployment benefit office. Appeals may only be made on a point of law or, where the case relates to expulsion from a trades union in a closed shop, on points of both law and fact. Appeals must be sent to the Employment Appeals Tribunal within 42 days of the decision being sent out. Information on how to appeal is enclosed with each Tribunal decision.
