The Employment Appeal Tribunal

The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) is a specialized court in the UK that reviews decisions made by employment tribunals, which resolve workplace disputes like unfair dismissal or discrimination. Its role is to ensure that legal procedures were correctly followed and that the law was properly applied. The EAT does not re-examine evidence or decide new cases but focuses on points of law. If a party believes there was a legal error in the original tribunal's decision, they can appeal to the EAT. Its rulings help maintain consistency and fairness in employment law across the country.
