The online publication of employment tribunal (ET) decisions in England, Wales and Scotland marks a watershed moment, opening up new innovative avenues for legal research, and promoting transparency in labour law decision-making. Drawing on this ‘dataset’, and using age discrimination decisions as a lens to facilitate analysis, this paper reflects on the advantages and limitations of using online ET decisions as a data source to support labour law research. By considering matters of time in age discrimination decisions – both in relation to time limits for bringing a claim, and ET delays – this paper uses innovative empirical findings to map the limits of the individual enforcement model adopted by discrimination laws, and illustrates some of the barriers to successfully bringing a claim for discrimination.

在就业法庭执行权利：新“数据集”中年龄歧视主张的见解

英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰就业法庭 (ET) 裁决的在线发布标志着一个分水岭，为法律研究开辟了新的创新途径，并提高了劳动法决策的透明度。借鉴这个“数据集”，并使用年龄歧视决策作为分析的镜头，本文反映了使用在线 ET 决策作为支持劳动法研究的数据源的优势和局限性。通过考虑年龄歧视决定中的时间问题——包括提出索赔的时间限制和 ET 延迟——本文使用创新的实证结果来绘制歧视法采用的个人执法模式的限制，并说明了一些成功提出歧视索赔的障碍。
