Acas Early Conciliation

[ch 3: page 39]

Acas Early Conciliation (Acas EC) is now a mandatory first step for all tribunal claims (except those for interim relief where the court agrees to a short term, temporary solution). Acas EC must be initiated by submitting an Acas Early Conciliation Notification Form within the time limit for bringing a claim. This is a strict deadline.
