Tribunal Respondents Identity to be Published (again)

As many of you will be aware the Respondents identity in any Tribunal claim was contained within a register however this practice ceased in 2001 following concerns that unscrupulous legal firms were contacting respondents (who often were already represented) to offer representation in the proceedings.

The Information Commissioner however has indicated via a press release, that the because of a new ruling made by them, 'material will be released routinely once again'. This means that employers can expect more cold calls offering representation at hearings in the near future.

Deep Joy!
