Law Matters
Arbitration scheme delayed
Government plans to introduce a voluntary arbitration scheme, as an
alternative to taking a tribunal claim, have been delayed due to
concerns about the implications of the Human Rights Act 1998, which
comes into force this month (see page 25). It is anticipated that the
scheme will be in operation by the end of the year. The scheme was
contained in the Employment Rights (Dispute Resolution) Act 1998, but
needed proposals from ACAS on how it would be implemented.
