Arbitration and Mediation Services (Equality) Bill [HL]

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill aims to ensure that private arbitration and mediation services follow the same equality and nondiscrimination laws that apply to other UK businesses. Currently, these disputeresolution services may not be fully covered by equality laws, so this bill would close that gap and protect people from unfair treatment.

Presented by Baroness Cox
supported by Fiona Bruce.
