Description

Updated in light of recent developments and in line with Law Society guidance, this course offers a practical discussion of the implementation of the ADR Directive, whereby every business in the UK, including lawyers, must include information concerning an external ADR Provider in their terms and conditions and on their websites.

The timetable to ensure compliance with the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes (Amendment) Regulations 2015 has been extended from July 2015 to 1 October 2015; by this date your firm must fulfil their obligations in respect of supplying ADR information or face the consequences.

Delivered by experienced lecturer and ADR specialist Peter Causton, this course will discuss the Regulations laid before Parliament earlier this year with regard to the implement of the Directive, solicitor’s obligations under the Directive and the likely consequences which you will experience as a result of non compliance.

This course is essential viewing for the following groups:

COLPs and COFAs
Commercial practitioners who may be asked to advise on the information requirements and re-draft clients’ terms and conditions
Litigation practitioners dealing with disputes between consumers and businesses

What you'll learn

On completion of this course you will: • Understand the importance of the ADR Directive and the rules surrounding the information requirements to be complied with by the majority of UK businesses including solicitors by 1 October 2015 • Be aware of the consequences of the ADR Directive in terms of penalties and enforcement if clients do not comply
