...iction, which will be a useful point of reference for representatives. This comprehensive guide is highly recommended for inexperienced representatives, and would prove a useful tool of reference for HR professionals and lay advisors, although it is worth bearing in mind the repeal of the statutory dispute resolution procedures with effect from April 2009 will mean much of the case law will no longer apply.
