Dispute resolution process
If Mission Produce UK Limited reasonably and in good faith disputes its obligation to pay part or all of an invoice submitted by a supplier, then the Buyer notifies the supplier in writing of the amount of the invoice which it is disputing and the reasons why it considers it is not obliged to pay that amount.
Payment disputes are initially handled by the Buyer and passed to the Finance team. If a satisfactory outcome cannot be reached, the issue will be escalated to the legal team if required.
