# The ACAS Arbitration Scheme (England and Wales) Order 2001, Paragraph 16: Waiver of jurisdictional issues


Because of its informal nature, the Scheme is not designed for disputes raising jurisdictional issues, such as for example:
whether or not the Employee was employed by the Employer;
whether or not the Employee had the necessary period of continuous service to bring the claim;
whether or not time limits have expired and/or should be extended.
