Legal cases | Menopause tribunal cases have tripled in 3 years - here's why

Employment tribunal claims citing menopause are spiking as employers struggle to get to grips with the ever-widening definition of disability, according to new figures. 

Law firm Nockolds analysed data obtained from HM Courts & Tribunal Service, revealing that employment tribunal claims citing menopause have more than tripled since 2022, rising from 64 to 204 claims. These are a mixture of disability, sex and age discrimination as well as constructive and unfair dismissal claims.
