The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many (a) ACAS Early Conciliation Certificates and (b) Employment Tribunal cases (i) heard and (ii) settled before a hearing were found in the claimant's favour in (A) 2021, (B) 2022 and (C) 2023.

Answered by Heidi Alexander

All claims made to the employment tribunals after 6 May 2014 (with a limited number of exceptions) will include an Acas Conciliation certificate.

Publication of Employment Tribunal by jurisdiction ceased from April 2021 when Employment Tribunals moved to an interim database with limited management information. Employment Tribunals are now in the process of transitioning to a new case management system and work is in hand as part of the HMCTS data strategy to reintroduce the publication of Jurisdictional Outcome information at the end of this calendar year.

The data for 2020/21 is available in the published statistics (tab ET_3): Tribunals statistics quarterly: July to September 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

The information for years for (A) 2021, (B) 2022 and (C) 2023 is not held.
