  • Response to Impact Assessment of Policy Option 1: Require All Claims to Be Submitted to ACAS in the First Instance
    Resolving Workplace Disputes: Response of the Employment Lawyers Association to a Consultation by the Department for Business Innovations & Skills – April 2011 i. The Employment Lawyers Association (“ELA”) is an unaffiliated group of specialists in employment law including those who represent both employers and employees. It is not our role to comment on the political merits or otherwise of proposed legislation; rather we make observations from a legal standpoint. ii. ELA’s Policy and Legislative Committee consists of barristers and solicitors (both in private practice and in-house) who meet regularly for a number of purposes, including considering and responding to proposed new laws. iii. We set up a working group under the Chairmanship of Richard Fox (Kingsley Napley) to consider and comment on the Consultation Paper “Resolving Workplace Disputes” released by the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (“BIS”) in January 2011. iv. We organised ourselves into 5 subgroups as follows: Group 1 – Chair: Peter Frost (Herbert Smith) Mediation – Questions 1 to 7; Compromise Agreements – Questions 8 to 11; Early Conciliation – Questions 12 to 20; Further information – Question 24; Initial statement of loss – Questions 34 to 41 Group 2 – Chair: Stephen Levinson (RadcliffeLeBrasseur) Strike out – Questions 21 to 23; Deposit Orders – Questions 25 to 29; Calderbank Orders – Questions 42 to 44; Costs cap – Questions 30 to 33; Entitlement to expenses – Questions 49 to 51 Group 3 – Chair: Robert Davies (Dundas & Wilson) Witness statement procedure

Little did I know that a storm was fast approaching from the Atlantic. I prepared myself for a major intervention of a City Firm profession by the SRA and the cost of obtaining which thankfully, up to the date of writing this article, never Professional Indemnity Cover which continues to be a came.
