This evaluation, published 25 January 2010, sought to establish the cost effectiveness of early neutral evaluation (a form of alternative dispute resolution) and whether it resulted in swifter, more proportionate resolution of cases.
The research also aimed to establish appellant satisfaction with the process and the impact on and views of stakeholders.
The report recommends that the pilot be rolled out on only a limited scale and that it would need to be accompanied by continuous testing and monitoring before stronger conclusions could be made about potential complete national roll out.
