<p>The following table sets out details of Employment Tribunal (ET) cases brought
by Service personnel since 2008 which were subject to an out of court settlement.
I am unable to answer the second part of this question as the internal appeal process
does not include any separate complaints appeal stage which is distinct from the Superior
Officer or Defence Council levels.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Calendar year</p></td><td><p>No
of ET cases settled out of court (of those lodged in each year)</p></td><td><p>Total
settlement monies (paid against ET claims lodged in each year)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008</p></td><td><p>27</p></td><td><p>£393,584</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>£131,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>£28,075</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>£37,243</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>Withheld</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>£0</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p> </p><p>Notes:</p><p> </p><p>1. Data refer to the date of submission of the
ET claim. ET settlements and monies paid may have occurred in different years, but
are presented in this format to show the outcomes of the claims which were lodged
in each calendar year.</p><p> </p><p>2. Settlement payments made are covered by Compromise
Agreements which contain a confidentiality clause. For this reason the figure for
the single case settled out of court in 2012 is withheld.</p><p> </p><p>3. The figure
for 2008 includes the Royal Irish class action Industrial Tribunal cases in which
21 of the 22 complainants received a settlement.</p><p> </p><p>4. Not all cases lodged
in 2013 have reached their conclusion.</p><p> </p>
