Employment Appeals Tribunal

A specialist judicial body that reviews appeals arising from decisions made by Employment Tribunals across England Wales and Scotland. It primarily deals with cases where there is an alleged error of law in the original tribunal decision. This tribunal is part of the broader UK judicial system and operates under the oversight of His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service.

Successful Employment Tribunal Appeals

These are cases where the Employment Appeals Tribunal has found that a legal mistake occurred in the original decision made by the Employment Tribunal. A successful appeal usually results in the case being sent back to a new tribunal for reconsideration or in some cases a revised judgment being issued. Success depends on showing a legal flaw rather than a disagreement with the outcome of the original case.

Appeal Against Employment Tribunal Decision

This refers to the formal process by which a party challenges a ruling from an Employment Tribunal. Appeals must be based on questions of law rather than disagreements about facts or the fairness of the outcome. If a party believes the tribunal misapplied the law or acted irrationally they may file an appeal with the Employment Appeals Tribunal. This must be done within a strict time frame and follow specific procedures.

EA Tribunal

An abbreviated term often used to refer to the Employment Appeals Tribunal. It serves the same function and is governed by a clear set of procedural rules. Parties appearing before the EA Tribunal must understand that the tribunal will not rehear the facts but will assess whether the law was properly applied in the original decision.
