HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has published a letter to stakeholders, confirming that the implementation date for fees in the employment tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal will be Monday 29 July 2013. The letter states that from this date, subject to the necessary Parliamentary approvals, all ET claims and EAT appeals from the employment tribunals presented to HMTCS will be liable under the Fees Order and supporting rules to pay a fee, or provide an application for fee remission against that fee, under the HMTCS remissions scheme.
