Employment lawyers have been left “very disappointed” by a “shameful” investigation into the employment tribunal system by The Times newspaper.

The furore follows two articles written by the paper’s investigations editor, Dominic Kennedy, and published on 1 February 2020, which claimed to show a tribunal system hamstrung by a backlog of cases that were being adjudicated on by “trade union and town hall lawyers”, rather than experienced, impartial judges.
