Thank you for your request.
Between 1 January 2020 to 15 September 2023, 9 employment tribunals have been brought against ONS.
The ONS paid ca. £208,000 in legal fees to defend these claims.
Of those cases, the tribunal ruled in favour of the ONS in one case, and in favour of the claimant in one case. In the latter case, the court ordered ONS to make an award of £2,715.70 to the claimant.
The 7 remaining cases were all dismissed by the employment tribunal.
