Employment Appeals Tribunal

The Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT) is a legal body that hears appeals from decisions made by Employment Tribunals, which deal with disputes between employers and employees. Established to ensure fair treatment in the workplace, the EAT reviews cases involving issues like unfair dismissal, discrimination, and wage disputes. If an individual or business believes a tribunal's decision was incorrect—due to legal errors or misinterpretation of the facts—they can appeal to the EAT. Its rulings help clarify employment law and set important precedents for future cases, contributing to a fairer work environment.
