Tribunals and Gender Recognition Statistics. The bulletin presents the latest statistics on type and volume of tribunal cases received, disposed of and outstanding and the number of Gender Recognition Certificates applied for and granted.  

The bulletin focuses on information on receipts (i.e. cases received by HMCTS), the outcome of cases by category (e.g. cases disposed of at hearing) and the caseload outstanding (snapshot of live cases at a specific point in time) for the three largest tribunals: Employment, Immigration and Asylum, and Social Security and Child Support. Additional data are available on timeliness, jurisdiction, Employment Tribunal fees, smaller tribunals, Employment Appeal Tribunal and regional receipts for the Employment Tribunal (management information). 

Annual data are published as follows:
* Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal annual statistics are published in September; these include information on representation of claimants, compensation and costs awarded in the Employment Tribunal for the financial year.
* Data from the Special Educational Needs and Disability tribunals covering the academic year are published in December. Further breakdowns include information on the number of appeals registered by type and nature of special education need, and outcomes.
* The number of adjournments and postponements by jurisdiction are published annually in June, along with the number of judicial salaried and fee-paid sittings by jurisdiction.

In addition to monitoring tribunal workloads and timeliness, they are used to assist in the development, monitoring and evaluation of tribunal related policy in collaboration with other Government departments, e.g. DWP, BEIS and Home Office.

Employment Tribunal and EAT Statistics 2009-10 
 
Key findings 
The 2009-10 figures show an overall increase in the number of accepted 
claims (receipts)1 to Employment Tribunals and an increase in the number of 
disposals. Key findings of the 2009-10 statistics are as follows: 
 
The number of receipts (accepted claims) was 236,100 in 2009-10, 
representing an increase of 56% on 2008-09, and 25% on 2007-08.  
 
The increase in receipts is largely as a result of the rise in multiple 
claims, these rose by nearly 90% on 2008-09, but also partly as a 
result of the changing economic climate.  
 
There were 71,300 single accepted claims in 2009-10, which was an 
increase of 14% over the previous year.  
 
Figure 1 shows the variation in the number of single and multiple 
accepted claims (receipts) since 2001-02 and shows that accepted 
claims are at their highest levels.

Employment Tribunal and EAT Statistics 2009-10 
 
In 2009-10, the Employment Tribunals disposed of 112,400 claims, an 
increase of 22% on the number in 2008-09. Almost three fifths of cases 
disposed of in 2009-10 were single cases.  
 
When the jurisdictional mix2 of claims is considered, there were 392,800 
jurisdictional claims, up 47% on 2008-09 (and reflecting the overall 
increase in ET receipts). The average number of jurisdictions per claim 
was 1.7, lower than the 1.8 in 2008-09. 
 
Of the 392,800 jurisdictional claims received in 2009-10, just under a 
quarter, (95,200) were Working Time Directive (largely multiple airline 
industry cases that are resubmitted every three months), and 75,500 were 
unauthorised deductions (Wages Act).   
 
There were 126,300 jurisdictional claims associated with unfair dismissal, 
breach of contract and redundancy, which is 17% higher than for 2008-09 
and 62% higher than in 2007-08, and likely to be a result of the Economic 
recession. 
 
Of the jurisdictional claims disposed of, 32% were withdrawn, 31% were 
Acas conciliated settlements and 13% were successful at Tribunal. 
 
The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) received 1,963 appeals and 
disposed of3 1,848, compared to 1,794 and 1,933 respectively in 2008-09. 
 
In EAT, 403 appeals were disposed of at a full hearing, compared to 418 in 
2008-09. 
                                            
2 A claim can contain a number of grounds, known as jurisdictional complaints. In any 
hearing, the tribunal has to decide upon the merits of the claim made under each 
jurisdiction. 
3 Includes pre and post hearing disposals

Explanatory notes   
Data quality and sources 
Information presented in this report is Management Information drawn from a 
number of administrative sources. Although care is taken when processing 
and analysing the data, the detail is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any 
large-scale recording system. The Tribunals Service is examining the quality 
of information. Thus it is possible that some revisions may be issued. 
 
Definitions 
Receipt - Volumetric term covering the acceptance of a case within the 
Tribunals Service. 
Disposal - A disposal or clearance is the closure of a case when work has 
ceased to be done. This can be through a claim being withdrawn, settled, 
dismissed or being decided at a hearing. 
 
Caseload outstanding - The number of cases outstanding at the end of the 
period and still waiting to be dealt with to completion. 
 
ET Claim - A claim may be brought under more than one jurisdiction or 
subsequently amended or clarified in the course of proceedings but will be 
counted only once. 
ET Single and multiple claims - Claims to the Employment Tribunal may be 
classified into two broad categories, singles and multiples. Multiple cases are 
where two or more people bring cases, involving one or more jurisdiction(s) 
usually against a single employer but not necessary so, for instance in TUPE 
cases, and always arising out of the same or very similar circumstances. As a 
multiple, the cases are processed together. 
ET Jurisdiction - the Employment Tribunals powers to hear a claim are 
determined by legislation, with statutory provisions defining the ambit of the 
jurisdiction that can be covered by a claim to an Employment Tribunal. 
 
ET Jurisdictional mix -  A claim can contain a number of grounds, known as 
jurisdictional cases. In any hearing, the tribunal has to decide upon the merits 
of the claim made under each jurisdiction e.g. unfair dismissal and sex 
discrimination. The total number of jurisdictions covered by each case gives a 
truer measure of workload than the number of claims. The jurisdictions 
covered by ET are wide ranging from discrimination and unfair dismissals to 
issues around salary and working conditions.

Employment Tribunal and EAT Statistics 2009-10 
 
Hearing - The hearing is a meeting at which the tribunal panel considers 
evidence (either orally or paper based) and reaches a decision (where the 
decision may be to adjourn or to agree a final outcome). If the hearing is 
adjourned, and restarted, it counts as one hearing.  
Examples of hearings include: 
Paper hearings; 
Oral hearings; 
Case Management Discussions 
Decision on eligibility 
Withdrawal - The applicant/claimant/appellant ceases action either before or 
at the hearing. Withdrawals may be consequent upon an Acasa facilitated 
conciliation process 
Settlement - Cases settled without the need for a hearing. In many cases, aA 
third party, such as ACAS (for Employment Tribunal claims) may have been 
involved in the process. 
Outcome of hearing - The outcome of the hearing is a final determination of 
the proceedings or of a particular issue in those proceedings; it may include 
an award of compensation, a declaration or recommendation and it may also 
include orders for costs, preparation time or wasted costs either in favour or 
against an applicant. Note: ET records outcomes for each act (or jurisdiction), 
not for the hearing.
