The truism 'justice delayed is justice denied' is becoming an ever wider depiction of how the legal system works across England & Wales.
So news that workers & employers are waiting up to five years for an employment tribunal on claims for unfair dismissal is both no surprise & a confirmation of the shocking state of the legal system.
Respect for the rule of law depends on it efficacy in actually delivering judgements - no wonder its being lost!

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us I have never understood, how can a two-party system be called democratic.

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us perhaps the answer is to swiftly pass an amendment that any claim for unfair dismissal automatically rules in favour of the employee, if case takes >6/12 to reach tribunal, with full restitution and two years salary as compensation. Watch business lobby government PDQ to fund justice properly.....if taxes on companies with turnover of more than £5 m have to rise to fund it then so be it. *Edited to set time to hear case, to increase pressure on govt.
