Proceeding contribution from Lord Wedderburn of Charlton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 25 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Employment Bill [HL].


Employment Bill [HL]

Was any objective evidence or survey put forward in these conversations to show that the ACAS decision is not a useful method in employment disputes—I stress, in employment disputes? ADR, as alternative dispute resolution has become known, is the flavour of the month. The website of the Ministry of Justice suggests that ADR should be used in a wide range of litigation, but the website does not include employment disputes, and the reason for that is ACAS.
