I am not convinced that leaving the EU will deprive us of the ability to settle things by ADR. ADR is a voluntary process, and the EU demanding that everyone includes a lot of fine print about it in their terms of business and website achieves nothing so far as I can see. Do clients ever actually read terms of business? The sort of person who needs protection is the person least likely to read or understand this guff.

Indeed if you are looking for a reason to leave the EU the mass of extraordinarily detailed regulation coming out of Brussels on this subject hits the spot pretty well. Fair enough if this just applied to big business, but I am staggered that one man bands, whether lawyers or electricians, are expected to keep track of all this, and get all their paperwork spot on every time they take on some tiny job.
