Paragraph 3

Resolution of disputes under the Scheme is intended to be confidential, informal, relatively fast and cost efficient. Procedures under the Scheme are non-legalistic, and far more flexible than the traditional model of the employment tribunal and the courts. For example (as explained in more detail below), the Scheme avoids the use of formal pleadings and formal witness and documentary procedures; strict rules of evidence will not apply. Arbitral decisions (“awards”) will be final, with very limited opportunities for parties to appeal or otherwise challenge the result.
