Read in each scheme's own rules and reports. The United Kingdom limits are those for acts after April 2019; for earlier acts the figures are 200,000 pounds and 205,000 pounds.

Across notified dispute bodies in the union, 64 per cent deliver outcomes that bind neither side and only 20 per cent bind both. Italy's scheme binds neither party, publishes non-compliance for five years, and still reports 94 per cent compliance.
