Fees for those bringing employment tribunal claims have been ruled unlawful, and the government will now have to repay up to £32m to claimants.
The government introduced fees in 2013 to reduce the number of malicious and weak cases, but that led to a 79% reduction over three years.
Trade union Unison argued that the fees prevented workers getting access to justice.
The Supreme Court also found fees were indirectly discriminatory to women.
It ruled the government was acting unlawfully and unconstitutionally when it introduced the fees.
