Sam & Nils are back this week discussing the new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system for entering the UK, comparing it to the ESTA used for travel to the USA. They also explore the ongoing issues within the UK tribunal system, particularly regarding employment rights and the potential reintroduction of tribunal fees. The discussion highlights the challenges faced by the tribunal system, including delays and access to justice, and considers the implications of any future changes.

Key Takeaways:

The Electronic Travel Authorisation is similar to the ESTA.

Each individual needs their own ETA to travel to the UK.

The ETA application process requires a photo upload.

Tribunal fees were introduced in 2013 and significantly reduced claims.

The tribunal system is currently facing significant delays.

There is a need for investment in the tribunal system to handle more claims.

Access to justice is a major concern with current tribunal delays.
