A warning for all multiple claims brought in an employment tribunal

This relates to a recent EAT decision in Farmah & ors v Birmingham City Council ...

Summary from Cloisters Chambers -

Farmah does not just affect multiple equal pay claims brought in an Employment Tribunal (ET). It affects all multiple claims brought in an ET, for example TUPE and failure to consult or unilateral variation of terms leading to a deduction of wages. It affects any case where more than one claimant is named on the same claim form. It is therefore a case of immense importance and it demonstrates how the fees regime introduced in 2013 has radically affected issuing claims, as well as the catastrophic consequences of including more than one claimant on a claim form where “the same set of facts” do not apply to all of them.
