In 2013, the UK introduced fees for claims made to employment tribunals and the Employment Appeal Tribunal. The legality of this was challenged by Unison, the trade union. Today, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that tribunal fees restrict access to justice and should be scrapped. They also said that the fee system was discriminatory as it disproportionately affected women. Research shows the number of employment tribunals claims fell by 79 percent after fees were introduced.
