Refunding Employment Tribunal Fees

Following the successful challenge to the lawfulness of Employment Tribunal fees, the Government has now announced its plans for a refund scheme.

Anyone who paid a fee to an Employment Tribunal or the Employment Appeal Tribunal can now register for a refund. Although these mostly affect employees, where employers have been ordered to reimburse employees for fees paid, they too can apply for a refund.  Similarly where an employer has paid a fee to appeal, or a fee to the Employment Tribunal for any other purpose, they can also register for a refund using the appropriate form.

Residential Property Quarterly Reflections and Insights

The latest quarterly report from the ASPC gives a reassuring picture of local market activity, with the house price index remaining, mostly, in the positive. The change in quarterly price is +1.5%, while the annual change is -0.5%. Taken over five years, the index is marginally positive at +0.4%. While the figures are reassuring, it may well be that our local market is yet to feel the strain of the general economic background and only time will tell whether this will be reflected in the remainder of 2023. Buyers’ wariness over the short term may well affect property sales as they effectively “sit tight” to see what happens with interest rates. This may result in a sluggish Autumn/Winter market as moving plans are put on hold, but for the moment, there is still healthy demand for properties in desirable locations and in good condition.
