Details

This report also includes the Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) information which relates to the financial year 2012/13.

Receipts

  • There were 254,000 receipts (or claims) in April to June 2013. This is a third higher than April to June 2012.
  • The main reason for the increase was the 57% large increase in appeals in relation to the Social Security and Child Support (SSCS).

Disposals

  • There were 212,000 disposals in April to June 2013. This represents an increase of a quarter on April to June 2012.
  • This was also driven by an increase in SSCS disposals, which were more than a third higher than April to June 2012.

Caseload outstanding

  • For all tribunals combined, the caseload outstanding at the end of June 2013 was 928,000 – 23% higher than June 2012.
  • The main driver for the increase was the increase in SSCS (48%)
  • The picture is different for ET cases, with the caseload for single claims decreasing by 12% and the caseload for multiples increasing 13%.

Timeliness

  • For SSCS Tribunals, half of all cases were cleared (time taken from receipt to outcome) in 14 weeks or less, the same as April to June 2012.
