From a response to an FoI inquiry, the BBC reveals that
- 90 employment tribunal or industrial tribunal claims have been brought against the BBC since 1 April 2005
- 14 of the 90 claims were withdrawn
- 25 of these claims proceeded to tribunal of which 24 were dismissed (i.e. won by the BBC) or struck out and one was upheld. Two claims are still ongoing.
- the BBC settled 49 unfair dismissal claims without admission of liability and before a tribunal judgement and that the total figure paid to claimants in such cases over the ten year period of your request was £840,341
- the BBC is not charged for the time that is spent on each case by the BBC’s Employment Law Department
