Unpaid award penalties to be introduced in April

compensation, costs, feesBy Martin MaloneFebruary 4, 2016

Section 150 of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 provides for a new Part 2A to be inserted in the Employment Tribunals Act 1996 and entitled “Financial Penalties for Failure to Pay Sums Ordered to be Paid or Settlement Sums”. This brings into effect the much heralded and somewhat delayed procedure for imposing…

Ordered to pay costs despite inability to do so

costs, employment lawBy Martin MaloneApril 27, 2015

It is a central maxim of international jurisprudence that, other than in the most exceptional circumstances, a judgment or order should not be made if it cannot be complied with by the person against whom it is made. This is why, for example, individuals who may owe thousands of pounds are often ordered to make…

Mitchell, costs and the trickle down to SMEs

costs, discriminationBy Martin MaloneNovember 28, 2014

So, Andrew Mitchell’s mission to seek redress for having been falsely accused of using the word “pleb” came to an ignominious conclusion yesterday when Mr Justice Mitting found that his behaviour was “childish” and that he did use the politically charged word.

when criticism becomes apparent bias

bias, costs, fee exemptionsBy Martin MaloneOctober 26, 2012

Tribunal judges have the power and are encouraged to deal robustly with weak and vexatious claims (or indeed defences – sauce for the goose…), and in doing so are likely to be critical of the conduct of the case by the party in question. However, they must take care not to overstep the mark and…

more about settlement agreements and compensatory awards

compromise agreements, costs, settlement agreementsBy Martin MaloneOctober 26, 2012

Proposals regarding settlement agreements from earlier this year have been fleshed out in a new government paper. Avid readers will recall talk of “protected conversations” – these seem to have died a death for now. The Government’s response to consultation seems to accept that such a concept could add to the administrative burdens on employers…
