The Pubs Code Adjudicator encourages openness and transparency in the operation of the Pubs Code etc. Regulations 2016. Publication of awards made in Pubs Code arbitrations, or summaries of those awards, enables the industry to better understand previous decisions and consider how the Pubs Code is being applied in individual cases. Neither the Pubs Code Adjudicator nor an arbitrator is bound to follow published awards in applying the law, but such awards can be used to support the industry’s consideration of the proper interpretation of the Pubs Code. Parties are encouraged to take independent professional advice about their situation.
