Britain has built a parallel justice system that operates less as an escape valve for the courts and more as an industrialised grievance machine, a new Centre for Policy Studies paper argues. ‘Suffocated by Tribunals’, written by Alan Hibben and Robert Colvile, shows how misaligned incentives, overly broad legislation and the expanding reach of human rights law have created a system where the rational response for employers and public bodies is to settle, regardless of whether a claim has merit.
The report received coverage in CapX, ConservativeHome, the Daily Mail (print and online), and the Telegraph, as well as a print feature in the Sunday Telegraph.
