I think we've bumped heads on this one before Cashy. I'm obviously in a minority but I agree with this change.

Small employers who dismiss dollopers are then threatened with tribunal, even though there is no doubt that the employer will win, it's usually cheaper to pay them off with a nominal sum than to spend man hours preparing documentation, sending and resending spurious information requested by the coffin chasers representing, then adding the travel and associated hours costs of actually attending the tribunal.

I have no doubt that there are some real cruddy employers out there, but the tribunal law as it stood was open to abuse, and the rise in figures for claims over the last ten years prove it.
