Since 2017, all employment tribunal judgments have been published online by the government.  But there’s a growing concern that publication of judgments online may lead to employers searching up potential recruits, and then refusing to hire anyone who has brought a tribunal claim against  a previous employer – presumably on the grounds that they are presumed to be litigious.

In this episode, I discuss this (and other) issues with three leading academics:

Dr Alysia Blackham is an Associate Professor at Melbourne Law School and a former Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge.

Jeremias Adams-Prassl is Professor of Law at Magdalen College, Oxford. He is particularly interested in the future of work and innovation, with recent books including Humans as a Service: the Promise and Perils of Work in the Gig Economy and Great Debates in EU Law.

Abi Adams-Prassl is an associate professor in economics at New College, Oxford. She specialises in researching decision making within the consumer arena, and with Jeremias Adams-Prassl, developing frameworks for quantifying access to justice in the UK legal system.
