The Courts and Tribunals Fees (Miscellaneous Amendments) Order 2014 amends the Employment Tribunals and the Employment Appeal Tribunal Fees Order 2013 from 6 April 2014 to rectify a drafting error in the 2013 Order where certain proceedings which should have attracted a Type B fee were mistakenly included in the table for Type A fees in Schedule 2. The Order applies the higher Type B application fee and hearing fee to the following:
- a complaint in relation to a breach of a sex equality clause under section 66 of the Equality Act 2010;
- a complaint in relation to a breach of, or application in relation to the effect of, a sex equality rule in an occupational pension scheme under section 67 of the Equality Act 2010;
- a complaint in relation to failure of an employer to inform or consult under regulation 13 of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006;
- a complaint that an employer has refused to allow compensation, payment or compensatory rest under regulations 24, 24A, 27 and 27A of the Working Time Regulations 1998; and
- a complaint that an employer has failed to allow time off for studies or training or if a refusal is based on incorrect acts under sections 63D to 63I of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The Order also substitutes a new table of Type A claims in Schedule 2.
