Are employment tribunal decisions published?

Yes. Written judgments from employment tribunals in England, Wales and Scotland are published in the employment tribunal decisions database on GOV.UK, searchable by name, date and type of claim. Employment Appeal Tribunal decisions are on GOV.UK and Find Case Law. Northern Ireland has its own industrial tribunals, with decisions published separately.

For how many claims succeed, use the Ministry of Justice's quarterly tribunal statistics, which show claims received, cases waiting and outcomes by jurisdiction (unfair dismissal, discrimination and so on).

Most claims never reach a hearing: many are settled through Acas, withdrawn or struck out, so the share "successful at hearing" is a small part of all outcomes. A single claim can also include several complaints, which counts are based on.

Terms used in this answer

• Survey sample
  The group of people or businesses selected to take part in a survey, chosen so that their answers can be used to estimate figures for the whole population.
• Response rate
  The share of people or businesses selected for a survey who actually take part. Lower response rates can make estimates less precise and risk bias.
• Seasonally adjusted
  Figures that have had regular calendar patterns removed, such as Christmas shopping or summer jobs, so that underlying movements between months or quarters can be seen.
• Rolling average
  An average recalculated each period over a fixed window, such as the latest three months or twelve months, to smooth out short-term ups and downs.
• Rate per 100,000
  The number of events divided by the population and multiplied by 100,000, so areas of different sizes can be compared on a like-for-like basis.
