We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Parties to have an automatic right to record all Employment tribunal hearings
Parties can apply to audio record hearings but the Tribunals mostly reject it. Employers often have someone to record and the Tribunal judges record the hearing for themselves but the claimants who self represent are at a disadvantage. It is important for Claimants to be able to record hearings.
More details
At the moment claimants are disputing the judgments not only for the decision itself but also about the information in them.
The Tribunals' refusal to allow claimants to record hearings are resulting in further injustice and a waste of public resources.
