The revised bands will be as follows: lower band for less serious cases: £800-£8,400; middle band: £8,400-£25,200 and upper band for the most serious cases: £25,200-£42,000. The new bands will apply to claims made on or after 11 September 2017. For claims before that date, it will be open to Tribunals to adjust the bands in accordance with inflation, and the Guidance sets out the methodology for doing so.
