Yerty Intelligence · Case journeys

Understand how cases move. And where time goes.

The paths published cases took, what happened between decisions and the wait for a written judgment.

Explore the paths employment tribunal cases take, what happens between recorded decisions and how long it took to receive a written judgment. A clearer view of the process, grounded in past patterns.

Part of Judgment Analytics, not a standalone report. Timings are measured between the dates of published decisions, so they are not a complete claim-to-closure timeline. Past research, not a forecast for an individual case.

The value of context

Different questions need different measures.

Time between a hearing and a written judgment is not the same as the overall time a claim takes to resolve. Yerty keeps those perspectives distinct.

↗Every timing is measured between the dates of published decisions
↗Steps before a first published decision are not always visible, so no view is a complete claim-to-closure timeline
↗Tribunal Overview shows official national caseload and clearance patterns
↗Available filters depend on the chosen analytical view

Focus analysis

What happens after the hearing?

The gap from hearing to written judgment, with reserved judgments shown separately and the median alongside the spread.

For cases with the relevant published decisions, explore the gap from hearing to written judgment. The analysis distinguishes reserved judgments and offers distribution measures including the median, percentiles and longer waits.

This gives researchers more context than a single headline average, without suggesting when any current case will be decided.

Hearing to judgment

Understand the spread

Examine recorded gaps and how they vary, rather than relying on an isolated number.

Reserved judgments

Investigate the longer wait

Understand the available timing characteristics of decisions reserved after a hearing.

Supported filters

Change the perspective

Filter by claim, region and year where that particular view supports it.

Good interpretation

Know what is measured

These figures describe published decisions, not the full claim-to-closure calendar.

What the analysis does, and doesn't, show

Research with the right perspective.

Timing can sound precise while referring to very different milestones. The platform makes the underlying measure clear rather than collapsing it into a forecast.

Does Yerty predict how long my claim will take?

No. Case Journeys shows past features and timings from available published decisions. It does not calculate a personalised duration or forecast an individual case.

Where do the timings start and end?

At the dates of published decisions. A gap is measured from one published decision to the next, or from a hearing to its written judgment. What happened before the first published decision is often not visible, so no view gives a complete timeline from claim to closure.

Can I create a standalone Timelines report?

No. Case Journeys is an interactive part of Judgment Analytics. Related journey information is also included in certain generated reports, but there is no separate Timelines report builder.

Do these charts cover every employment tribunal claim?

No. The Case Journeys views analyse published decisions with the relevant extracted information. Tribunal Overview separately provides official national claim statistics, which cover a wider population.

Can I filter every journey view?

No. What happened, After the first decision and Hearing to judgment support claim type, region and judgment year filters. Full paths and Between stages have no filter bar.

What is the difference between hearing-to-judgment time and claim clearance?

Hearing-to-judgment measures the gap between a hearing and a written judgment in the published decisions. National clearance statistics describe how the wider tribunal system handles and closes claims.
