R (on the application of Unison (no. 2)) v Lord Chancellor (Equality and Human Rights Commission intervening) [2014] EWHC 4198 (Admin), [2014] All ER (D) 178 (Dec)

The claimant trade union sought judicial review of the fee scheme for employment applications and appeals introduced by the Employment Tribunals and Employment Appeal Tribunal Fees Order 2013 (SI 2013/1893). The Divisional Court, in dismissing the application, held that the claimant had not shown that the principle of effectiveness had been infringed or that there had been indirect discrimination, in particular, against women.
