BIS Call for Evidence on EU proposals for Alternative Dispute
Resolution (ADR)
This Call for Evidence seeks views from UK stakeholders on
recent proposals from the European Commission on consumer
alternative dispute resolution. In summary, the Commission argue
that all EU consumers should be able to solve their problems
without going to court, regardless of the kind of product or
service that the contractual dispute is about and regardless of
where they bought it in the European Single Market. In addition,
for consumers shopping online and from another EU country, the
Commission want to create an EU-wide single online platform which
will allow contractual disputes to be solved entirely online and
within 30 days. The proposals are likely to impact UK consumers,
businesses and organisations that currently provide alternative
dispute resolution services.
