Acas Early Conciliation

[ch 10: page 309]

As of 6 May 2014, in all tribunal claims except claims for interim relief, the first step is to submit an Acas Early Conciliation Notification Form, available from the Acas website. In a claim for unfair dismissal this step must be taken within three months of the EDT. Otherwise the claim will be out of time. For more information on bringing a tribunal claim, including tribunal fees and Acas early conciliation see Chapter 13.
