The latest amnesty scheme offers a window to close legacy disputes — but it is not the right answer in every case. This note sets out a framework we are using with clients.
Begin with a clean inventory of open demands by year and forum. Categorise each by quantum, merits and recovery risk. Only then can a credible decision be made on whether to settle, contest or wait.
Where merits are strong and recovery action is unlikely, contesting often remains the better economic choice. Where demands are small but recovery is imminent, settlement protects management bandwidth.
