Policy background Employment Tribunals Transfer responsibility for the remuneration of ET judges from the SoS BEIS to the Lord Chancellor
The SoS for BEIS currently has responsibility for remuneration for members of the ETs and EAT. Given the transfer of other responsibilities in relation to the ETs and EAT to the Lord Chancellor, it is considered appropriate for responsibility for remuneration of the ET judiciary to follow; consequently, the measures include provision to transfer the responsibility for the remuneration of the ET judges from the BEIS Secretary of State to the Lord Chancellor. This will produce a result in line with existing provision in the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 which provides that the Lord Chancellor is responsible for remuneration, pay and expenses of judges and members of the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal.
