  "A single claim is brought by one person; a multiple claim is one of two or more brought against the same employer on the same facts, each counted, so one employer's dispute can add thousands in a quarter. The Ministry of Justice gives no figures for April to June 2021, when its case management system changed. The latest quarter is provisional.",
