Launch of Dispute Resolution Commitment

The government has launched a new “Dispute Resolution Commitment”, building on the ADR Pledge which was launched in 2001.

The Commitment is aimed at encouraging increased use of flexible, creative and constructive approaches to avoid, manage and resolve disputes. The overriding objective for publication of the Commitment is to show how the government intends to lead by example in resolving disputes quickly and efficiently.
