ABSTRACT

This book has demonstrated that ADR offers an alternative to the traditional individual employment dispute resolution route of employment tribunal litigation. Further, it has shown that employment law beyond the Employment Act 2002 offers a new era for revived ADR in employment litigation. In this final chapter, we set out a possible framework for further reform and change, providing some comparative analysis. Overall, we conclude that employment dispute resolution, or EDR, as an alternative to litigation, has a place in modern employment law practice. In addition, since the Employment Tribunal Task Force has now reported, we comment on its recommendations.
