Guidance
issued by the Access Disputes Committee to the Allocation Chair and Hearing
Chairs
The
contracts by which the Access Disputes Committee appoints the Allocation Chair
and Hearing Chairs require the dispute resolution processes to
be conducted subject to the Access Dispute Resolution Rules but also having
regard to any guidance issued by the Committee from time to time.
In the interests of transparency, the Committee considers it appropriate that
all current guidance be published on its website.
It
should be noted that, irrespective of the Committee’s guidance, the
over-riding obligation of the Chairs is to act in accordance with the law,
with all decisions (including determinations and decisions on procedure) being
in accordance with the law [see ADR Rule A5].
