Delay to planned upgrade for Employment Tribunal online services

  • 27/03/2025

Please be aware that the planned upgrade for Employment Tribunal online services (as notified to the national user group a few days ago) has been delayed and will now take place on Wednesday 2 April 2025 at 8:30pm. The upgrade is expected to last until 4.00am on Thursday 3 April. A message, informing users that the service is unavailable, will appear for anyone trying to access it during that period.

This upgrade applies to the MyHMCTS portal only. Responses can still be sent in via email in the usual way.

You can read more about the MyHMCTS portal here. Videos are still available showing users how to use the portal to submit an ET3 here and how to submit applications here. In due course, this portal will become the primary means for representatives to engage with the tribunal.
