Remedies
United Kingdom
Discrimination
Uncapped compensation, based on the claimant's financial loss plus injury-to-feelings compensation of between GBP600 and 33,000.
It is additionally possible to claim a declaration of rights or a recommendation, aimed at reducing the impact of discrimination.
Unfair dismissal
Basic award, based on claimant's age and length of service (currently capped at GBP16,140) plus compensation based on the claimant's financial loss (currently capped at GBP88,519) or 52 weeks' pay – whichever is lower). The cap is expected to increase in April 2023. In exceptional cases (eg, whistleblowing dismissals), compensation is uncapped.
Reinstatement or reengagement is possible but rare.
As of April 5, 2014, it is possible for the tribunal to award a payment for "aggravating features" of between GBP100 and GBP5,000. This is paid to the government. In April 2019, the maximum level of penalty that tribunals may impose for aggravated breaches rose to GBP20,000.
