If you have become embroiled in dispute with another NFU member, this document is designed to explain what the NFU鈥檚 Legal Assistance Scheme (LAS) may be able to do for you, and what the procedures are.
The NFU鈥檚 aim is to save members鈥� time, money and distress by encouraging them to settle their dispute before it leads to costly litigation.聽 This is achieved by offering formal mediation, or any other form of alternative dispute resolution, if acceptable to both parties.
