The Employment Lawyers Association (ELA) has issued a report examining the potential for greater use to be made of ADR in employment disputes.
The report was prepared by an ELA working group, co-chaired by Peter Frost, partner in Herbert Smith Freehills' employment team in London, and Paul Goulding QC. It considers the current and potential use of various forms of ADR for resolution of different types of employment disputes, including private mediation, judicial mediation and early neutral evaluation. It also makes recommendations for governmental consultation on potential legislative changes to encourage the greater use of ADR both at the pre-action stage and post issue of proceedings.
