Can an employee get Public Funding to bring a claim against an employer ?
Public Funding / Community Legal Services Funding is not available for bringing a claim.
However, if an employee is on a low income or benefits the employee will qualify for a certain
amount of free advice under what is called the "Legal Help Scheme", (formerly advice & assistance scheme).
See Public Funding section.
Most solicitors provide Legal Help advice.
An employee can however get Public Funding if appealing against an Employment Tribunal
decision by taking the case to the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT).
