Dispute resolution process

Breyer Group PLC actively seeks to resolve disputes by discussing them with the relevant supplier or sub-contractor, typically involving members of the accounts payable department and /or the procurement and commercial teams and / or where necessary members of management. However, where it is not possible to reach agreement, a number of potential dispute resolution methods (for example, mediation, adjudication, expert determination, litigation and / or arbitration) may be used. We have identified four suppliers with large volumes of ‘late’ payments that have a significant number of queries arising from errors in their systems. This has had a negative impact on our statistics. We plan to meet with these four suppliers in the New Year to target improvements.
