This Blog has previously criticised Industrial Tribunals for effectively assuming an employer's guilt which has had the terrible effect that many large organisations simply 'pay up' in order to make these appalling examples of injustice go away.

The knock-on effects are inevitable. Many employers - particularly at the smaller end of the market - are going to be extremely careful before employing anybody as mistakes can be disastrous to rectify under the current system.Nobody wants to see people unfairly victimised in the workplace but this system STINKS!
