The Scottish Executive does not hold, on a central database, information related to the number of claims for unfair dismissal that have been brought against it since 1999, the outcome of such claims and the costs involved in responding to such claims. This information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. At present there is one ongoing claim for unfair dismissal against the Scottish Executive.
The Central Office of the Employment Tribunals in Scotland, the Eagle Building, 215 Bothwell Street, Glasgow, holds a public record of all Employment Tribunal cases brought in Scotland and may be able to provide some information relevant to your question.
