SCHEDULEACAS ARBITRATION SCHEME

XII. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY

66.  Arbitrations, and all associated procedures under the Scheme, are strictly private and confidential. This rule does not prevent a party to the arbitration taking any step reasonably necessary for the purposes of any application to the court or enforcement of an award.

67.  Hearings may only be attended by the arbitrator, the parties, their representatives, any interpreters, signers or communicators, witnesses and a legal adviser, if appointed. If the parties so agree, an ACAS official or arbitrator in training may also attend.
