When via ACAS does it become legally binding? When signed?
Case Rating: *
Hi Sarah! When using ACAS for a settlement, the agreement becomes legally binding once both parties have signed it. This is known as a COT3 agreement. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Is it not once the wording has been agreed?
Case Rating: *
Hi Sarah! In the context of an ACAS settlement (COT3 agreement), the agreement becomes legally binding once it has been signed by both parties. The wording agreement alone does not make it legally binding; both signatures are required.
