Citizens Advice survey shows tribunal fees deter claims

tribunal fees, introduced in July 2013, would deter or make more than four out of five people less likely to bring a claim. Nearly half of all potential claimants said they would have to save for six months to afford tribunal fees of £1,200 in Fairer fees, a survey by Citizens Advice of 361 people with employment problems. More than 40% had less than £46 a week after essential bills. However, 90% said they would not be put off by a £50 fee.
