It is being reported in the Law Society Gazette that the government is considering reintroducing tribunal fees.
Whilst no detail is given, the Ministry of Justice has said it is confident that a fee system can be found which does not deny Claimants access to justice, for which the government was criticised in R (on the application of UNISON) v Lord Chancellor.
This follows on from a written answer in Hansard in the summer, where the Ministry of Justice said it was reviewing how (not whether) it would reintroduce fees.
