<p>The Ministry of Justice publishes quarterly official statistics on the tribunals
which come under it, including Employment Tribunals. These are produced by statisticians
within the Ministry of Justice using information collated by HM Courts and Tribunals
Service, and are covered by the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.</p><p> </p><p>The
statistics published on 12<sup>th</sup> June were updated shortly after the initial
publication. This was because we identified that the breakdown of Employment Tribunal
jurisdiction claims was incorrect in a table published as an annex to the main publication.</p><p>
</p><p>The revision had no impact on the main findings set out in the statistical
publication, that HMCTS tribunals recorded 84,700 receipts in the period January to
March 2014. This is 67% lower than the same period of 2013, and the lowest receipts
since this statistical series began in 2008/09.</p><p> </p><p>In line with Gov.Uk
policy, we alerted users to this revision by posting a message on the main webpage
for the publication and have put in place procedures to ensure future publications
will not be affected.</p><p> </p>
