The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many employment tribunal cases involving claimants in Scotland are currently listed for a final hearing more than 24 months after proceedings were lodged.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

The specific information requested is not held by HM Courts & Tribunals Service. Data on open caseload for the Employment Tribunals is published in Tribunals Statistics Quarterly and data to March 2026 can be found in table S_4 of the main tables here: Tribunals statistics quarterly: January to March 2026 - GOV.UK. Figures for ET single claims, ET lead multiples and ET multiple claims are in columns H, I and J respectively.
