How we do it

This Scheme uses Arbitration. Arbitration is a formal and legally binding process where the dispute is resolved by the decision of a nominated third party called an arbitrator. Once the arbitrator issues their award it is legally binding and can only be appealed in the courts in very rare occasions.

 

This process is conducted entirely in writing.
