I move amendment No. 32:

In page 39, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:“(5) Where the claimant and respondent agree the Adjudication Officer may revert the dispute for mediation by a mediation officer.”.

This is a simple amendment providing that where the claimant and respondent agree, the adjudication officer may revert the dispute for mediation by a mediation officer. This provides flexibility within the system, whereby both parties can agree and revert to mediation.
