UK Government loses employment court case

The video discusses a Supreme Court case involving Clara Mason, a teaching assistant backed by her union, who claims six years of underpayments. The introduction of tribunal fees led to a significant drop in employment claims, but the government is now refunding these fees following a Supreme Court ruling. The fees were deemed contrary to the Equality Act as they disproportionately affected women. The ruling is seen as a victory for employees, though employers fear an increase in frivolous claims. The decision also impacts potential government changes to employment protections during Brexit.
