Can a claim be taken to an employment tribunal?

If mediation/conciliation is unsuccessful and a claim has been lodged at an Employment Tribunal then the claim can still be pursued at a JIB Dispute Committee.

If the individual is unhappy with the outcome of a JIB Dispute Committee decision then following the exhaustion of the appeals procedures they still have the right to pursue the claim at the Employment Tribunal.

If the claim has not been lodged with an Employment Tribunal because the operative does not have the requisite service for unfair dismissal then the decision can be appealed initially to the National Appeals Committee and ultimately to the JIB Independent Chairman.
