Employment Tribunals Fees Exemption - simplified process

For information:

The Ministry of Justice has just announced a simplification of the fee remissions structure, effective 30 June. With effect from 30 June:-

applicants no longer need to provide original copies of documents; HMCTS will accept photocopies;

applicants won't have to tell HMCTS the exact amount of disposable capital they have; just the relevant threshold it falls into

bank statements can be printed copies from online banking systems

DWP letters can now be dated within the last three months (previously it had to be less than a month old)

HMCTS is also producing a clearer, simplified form, and has announced that if a piece of information is missing, it will endeavour to contact the applicant rather than reject the claim.

With thanks to Daniel Barnett for the update.

I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.
