The Employment Appeal Tribunal is a tribunal in England and Wales and Scotland, and is a superior court of record.[1] Its primary role is to hear appeals from Employment Tribunals in England, Scotland and Wales. It also hears appeals from decisions of the Certification Officer and the Central Arbitration Committee and has original jurisdiction over certain industrial relations issues.
The tribunal may sit anywhere in Great Britain, although it is required to have an office in London.[2] It is part of the UK tribunals system, under the administration of His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service. The tribunal may not make a declaration of incompatibility under the Human Rights Act 1998.[3]
