Industrial tribunal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Industrial Tribunals were judicial bodies introduced under the Industrial Training Act 1964, consisting of a lawyer (the chairman), an individual nominated by an employer association, and another by the TUC or TUC-affiliated union. These independent panels heard and made legally binding rulings in relation to employment law disputes.

Under the Employment Rights (Dispute Resolution) Act 1998, the Industrial Tribunals changed name to 'Employment Tribunals'. Employment Tribunals continue to perform the same function as the Industrial Tribunals. More information can be found at a page entitled Employment_tribunal.
