Debate
Employment Rights BillContribution
Clause 20 could be a recipe for spiralling lawfare, which seems to contradict one of the aims of the Bill, as stated in the Government’s evidence and analysis paper: to reduce workplace conflict, which, we are told by ACAS, costs £30 billion a year. Clause 20, however, will mean that the number of employment tribunals goes up. They will become a source of tension and more conflict.
