Acas Early Conciliation

[ch 6: page 139]

Acas Early Conciliation (Acas EC) is now a mandatory first step for all tribunal claims. Acas EC must be initiated by submitting an Acas Early Conciliation Notification Form within the three-month time limit for bringing a discrimination claim. Otherwise the claim will be out of time and will not be allowed to proceed. For more information, see Chapter 13.
