Increase to damages bands for injury to feelings and psychiatric injury
The Presidents of the Employment Tribunal in England, Wales and Scotland have released a joint response to the Vento Bands Consultation (named after the case Vento v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police in which these bands were originally set out). These bands apply to discrimination cases, as well as other specific types of claim such as whistleblowing.The new bands take account of inflation, as well as the 10% uplift to psychiatric injury or injury to feelings awards
