Employment Appeal Tribunal

The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) is a UK court that hears appeals related to employment law cases, typically following decisions made by Employment Tribunals. It deals with important questions of law, ensuring that legal principles are applied correctly. The EAT does not re-examine evidence or facts of a case but focuses on whether the law was applied appropriately. It aims to provide consistency and clarity in employment law, helping to resolve disputes between employees and employers more effectively. The EAT is a crucial part of the judicial system for workplace-related legal issues.
