Dispute resolution in Britain: contemporary trends

Abstract

Examines dispute resolution in Britain and in particular, third‐party intervention, notably conciliation, mediation and arbitration as provided by the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS). Examines the role of industrial tribunals and makes a comparison with arbitration. Draws attention to recent trends in dispute resolution in Britain and in particular the rise in individual conciliation cases as British workers exercise their new found rights under European Union (EU) law. Comments on possible reforms to the system of dispute resolution in Britain.
