Research led to Supreme Court ruling on removal of UK employment tribunal fees

What is the value of #justice? This video explains a research project which set out to discover whether adverse economic incentives could be a barrier to justice.

Research evidence presented to the Supreme Court led to a unanimous ruling that UK #employment #tribunal fees of up to £1,200 for claimants, introduced in 2013, were unlawful. Dr Abi Adams' analysis contributed to the unanimous #SupremeCourt finding in July 2017 that the fee system for UK employment tribunal claimants was unlawful.

'I want to understand how we can best run the courts so they run as efficiently as possible whilst maintaining access to justice' - Dr Abi Adams
