Following the recent Daily Telegraph report on record employment tribunal backlogs I was pointed to an interesting post by Anya Palmer of Old Square Chambers.
"In any case, to suggest that if some multiple cases take years to resolve, there must be something wrong, is to completely misunderstand the way our legal system works."
The full (guest) post on Darren Newman's A Range of Reasonable Responses blog looks in detail at the statistics on which the report is based and makes interesting reading.
Are the "official figures" quite what they seem?
