Summaries of significant judgements

- If the case you need is a significant one, you may find a summary online by entering the case details in a search engine
- Summaries of significant employment tribunal judgements are included in a series of employment law reports available at Bedford Central Library. The series is called 'IDS Briefs' and the library keeps a ten year back file
