Where a Stage 4 Finding is sought, it is essential that the NAECI timescales and documentary requirements for the preceding Stages have been achieved and that this is demonstrated within a fully completed Stage 4 application form and supporting paperwork.

The Application Forms to Stage 4 for both Dispute Adjudication and Dismissal Arbitration have recently been updated and must be used for all future applications. These contain appropriate completion notes and are available to download below:
