Statutory Dispute Resolution Procedures to be Repealed??

by Philip

For those whose hobbies don’t include train-spotting that haven’t yet read the 326 page Budget 2007 Economic and Fiscal Strategy Report and Financial Statement and Budget Report, take a look at paragraph 3.56. It refers to the “Gibbons Review of dispute resolution” and proposes that the statutory procedure be repealed. It’s not happened yet, but consultation has begun so have your say http://www.dti.gov.uk/consultations/page38508.html. However, for now we still have to go through letters, meetings, more letters and appeals…..and litigation as a result of regulations that the EAT have said in open court seem to be more likely to make lawyers money than to resolve disputes. While on the subject of statutory procedures, have a look at the poll on the left of this blog. Let us know what you think about the procedures!
