Derbyshire Law Centre were proud winners at the Voluntary Sector Awards 2017 at the event on Wednesday, 4th October 2017.
Representing the Law Centre, Solicitor, Lisa Haythorne went on stage to collect the award for “Organisation of the year 2017 (with an income over £100,000)”. Collecting the award, an excited Lisa highlighted the work that the Law Centre does, especially around Housing and Homelessness.
In July 2017 a decision of the Supreme Court abolished Employment Tribunal fees. This means that anyone taking a claim to the Employment Tribunal no longer needs to pay a fee.
In addition, fees which have been paid either to issue a claim, or for a hearing, will be refunded by the government. However, it is not clear yet what arrangements will be made for refunds. When the arrangements are put in place, the Derbyshire Law Centre website will be updated with information about obtaining a refund.
Derbyshire Law Centre is pleased to announce the completion of this year’s annual report.
It’s been a very busy year and we hope you enjoy the read!
