Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average wait time is between an appeal being lodged at the Employment Appeals Tribunal to that appeal being heard.

HM Courts & Tribunals Service does not hold published information on the average time between an appeal being lodged at the Employment Appeal Tribunal and that appeal being heard.

Internal Management Information held works to a target of 75% of appeal cases heard within 26 weeks of appeal registration. Registration differs to lodgement as when an appeal is received/lodged with the Employment Appeal Tribunal, it will be assessed by a member of the Judiciary prior to any registration.

Latest performance indicates that between April 2019 and September 2019, 77% of Employment Appeal Tribunals were heard within 26 weeks of registration. This is internal management information only and the data is provisional and subject to further change.
