Policy background Employment Tribunals Providing for two additional members to be appointed to the TPC
The 2016 Consultation responses were strongly in favour of ensuring appropriate employment expertise on the TPC. To ensure that the membership of the TPC has the necessary skills and experience to fulfil its duties in relation to ETs and the EAT, the Act provides for the TPC to have two additional members; one, appointed by the Lord Chancellor, who has experience of advising on ET matters; and a second, appointed by the Lord Chief Justice, who has experience as a judicial or non-legal panel member of the ETs.
