To ask His Majesty's Government what proportion of claims for unfair dismissal were successful at employment tribunals for each of the past ten years.
Answered by Lord Bellamy
HMCTS does not hold separate data on the number of wrongful dismissal claims.
Data on the proportion of claims for unfair dismissal which were successful at employment tribunals for each of the past ten years is held in the published stats up to March 2021.
The ‘Unfair Dismissal’ table ET 3 gives a breakdown of the outcomes by proportion: Tribunal Statistics Quarterly: July to September 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
The table below details the overall number of successful unfair dismissal claims by Financial Year from 2014-2015 to 2020-2021 only.
