According to an article in The Scotsman (20.11.00), the Scottish executive has made legal aid available for bringing claims in employment tribunals. This is regarded as a 'pre-emptive strike' in view of the current claims being brought in Scotland under Article 6 of the ECHR for failing to provide legal aid (see bulletin 23/5/00)
It is expected that legal aid will be available for ETs in Scotland (not England or Wales) from 15th January 2001.
