Dispute Resolution Process

The group has a process in place for resolving disputes relating to payment. In the event of a dispute, the Accounts Payable Team would notify the vendor in writing (via email) of the existence and nature of the dispute and seek to agree a credit note or alternative resolution so that a payment can be made. Credit claims are raised with agreement from the vendor. Resolution time would be expected to be within 7 to 14 days depending on the nature of the dispute, meaning that vendor payment terms could still be met.
