Satisfactory Arbitration process following almost 12 months of correspondence with ABTA which was cumbersome - and ABTA quite useless in dealing with the complaint. We then had to repeat the process with Hunt ADR as we had to upload all the correspondence again. The outcome was fair and the Arbitrator found in our favour. However the website proved to be quite difficult to navigate.

After an intense and eye opening week undertaking the accredited meditation training, I can say Gregg, John and Kelly were amazing. I would recommend Hunt ADR to anyone. The experience, knowledge and skill base is unrivalled, and the friends I've made and progress has been a fantastic experience. Such an amazing programme, and wonderful experience.

Great training to gain certification as a mediator.

I found this service to be efficient, responsive and professional. Ella was particularly very supportive and helpful. Hunt’s communications were clear and timely. I found the website needed a bit of navigation initially but easy to use once I got the hang of it.
I found the whole process to be stress free. After two years of challenging a Cruise Provider who had subsequently closed down all communications on the basis they were right, the arbitrator found in my favour and I was given a full refund and costs.

There are plenty of training courses in mediation but the mediation course with Hunt ADR lived up to its expectations. The course is CMC accredited and on completion you can apply to join the CMC as an associate. The course was exceptionally well run with excellent tutors.

Recently completed a mediation course with Hunt ADR. Could not recommend more - from the initial preparation to the course content and final assessment support nothing was too much. I would recommend Hunt ADR to any colleague and will certainly look for further CPD/ training with them.

This was a thoroughly excellent 5 day mediation course and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Recently, I completed the CMC accreditation programme with Hunt ADR. I have to say that it was the most intense course I've experienced, but the content and role plays we had to undertake during the week prepared us thoroughly for the assessment. The encouragement and support from Gregg, Kelly and John was amazing! Well done for such a great course.

Had so many problems on our holiday with Jet2 that it took nearly a year to get to the final stage. Jet2 came up with every reason under the sun not to supply compensation and finally used Hunt ADR. What a mistake, it appears that Hunt are part of the travel industry cartel with nobody really impartial or independent. The Arbitrator from Hunt only looked at certains areas that went wrong, quoted only partial parts of the Jet2 terms amd conditions which benefitted Jet2 and even made a mistake in the final award letter. What a joke BEWARE of both Hunt and Jet2 because as soon as they have your money there is no way you're getting anything back when things go wrong!

Wish I not used Hunt ADR and gone to small claims court, at least I could have put my point of view across and run through evidence. Hunt VERY selective of what they respond to in their decision letter and take Jet2 t+c's out of context to suit the travel companies agenda.

The administration required of claimants who are pursuing a case against a travel agent, via Hunt Arbitration, is not user friendly. The format requirements and the process for uploading files (etc) is incompatible with claimants' Smartphones but is suited to those with full office equipment, such as travel agents. Furthermore, only one of Hunt Arbitration's six items of correspondence that they said was posted by mail, arrived. Similarly, telephoning Hunt Arbitration, always resulted in leaving a message on an answering machine and, at best, a return call would take several days to a week. This was unsatisfactory when the cases have timed deadlines. Meanwhile, it is a stressful time and these obstacles are debilitating. The travel agent / respondent in our case told us that (1) there is no ombudsman for the travel industry, (2) that ABTA is an Association, which takes payment from travel agents and that ABTA will rule in favour their income source. They added, (3) Hunt Arbitration is handpicked by ABTA and will be biased in favour of the travel agent. We hoped this was not true but, certainly, there is no independent ombudsman and we found that Hunt Arbitration accepted the travel agent's untrue narratives that were wholly unsupported with any reliable evidence: the travel agent's untruthful evidence included handwritten notes submitted more than a year into the process that they claimed was the content of a phone conversation, which they claimed to have made but which, in truth, never took place. The content of the fictitious phone call was intended to rewrite history and divert from the truth. The travel agents were not required to prove the phone conversation had occurred but, if required, could not because they had not made the phone call. Meanwhile Hunt Arbitration disregarded the truthful account that we evidenced with the travel agent's Terms and Conditions to support our case, dated and timed emails and official documentation from relevant third parties. The travel agent in our case introduced a fictitious 'landslide' (as an 'act of God') to replace a truthful, temporary rail derailment so that they could rewrite a version of events that favoured their narrative. All the official documentation from the relevant authorities referred to the derailment as it was but the judge agreed it was a landslide and favoured the travel agent's claim. It appears the travel industry can say anything, without proof and in the face of opposing evidence.

Very clear and competent process and excellent updates on the case from the agent at all times. This made a stressful issue much easier. Thanks

Failed to administer the arbitration in accordance with the ABTA scheme to favour their ABTA member. The rules of the scheme are written and published by ABTA and you would think it reasonable that cases be processed in line with those rules, but apparently not!

July update - Rather fittingly the reply to my complaint is eleven days later than that allowed in Hunt ADR's complaint procedure. Also worth a note that Hunt ADR also missed the date of reply noted in the correspondence they cite.

August update - CTSI (the scheme custodian) have confirmed they 'will now address the issues that (I) have raised with the ADR body directly and take further action with the body, as necessary. Any non-compliance issues that are identified...will be reported to the Department of Business and Trade.

Overall very pleased though the portal used for cases is not terribly user friendly and some of the facts provided were misinterpreted in the final ruling, though this did not impact the outcome.

Hunt ADR is a very professional arbitration service. If you feel you have a good case against TUI, use them, because TUI will not assess your complaint properly. In our case TUI offered a £170 holiday voucher, (this is probably less than any profit they would make on a new booking!) and hoped we would go away. Talking to ABTA had no effect, they are both toothless and useless, so the final stage is Hunt ADR. Having worked for the Financial Ombudsman Service as an Arbitrator, Hunt ADR lived up to our expectations and delivered an impartial and comprehensive written adjudication outlining the facts of the case and the reason for their decision, which was a full refund of £3,500, within the time-frame outlined at the start of the process. If you have what you believe is a good case do not let TUI off the hook and do not hesitate to use Hunt ADR. The only criticism is that the whole process, from original complaint to TUI, through the waste of time that was ABTA, and Hunt ADRs processes, was very time consuming (not Hunt ADRs fault) and quite stressful, and no compensation for distress and inconvenience is available.

I recently completed the CMC accredited mediation course with Hunt ADR. The training was much more challenging than I expected, as a person who has mediation experience. Consequently, found it very rewarding. Great role plays worked into the training so it was very engaging. Highly recommend.

I have successfully completed the intensive and enjoyable mediation course accredited by CMC with Hunt ADR. The online materials, website videos, and practice role-plays provided by Hunt ADR were extremely helpful in preparing me for the assessment. Hence, I would highly recommend Hunt ADR to anyone interested in mediation.

All aspects of my claim against TUI UK were awarded in my favour following ABTA arbitration conducted by Hunt ADR.
The arbiter reviewed the clear evidence, the response from TUI and justified all 3 aspects of my claim by legal case precedents cited by the auditor.
Claimants need to be IT competent .Loading evidence was easy, the format for responding to “respondents defence” was not so user friendly (inserting key information to address specific points) and could be improved.
A key advantage of arbitration is it forces the respondent to address the issues raised. During my attempts to settle prior to arbitration TUI had repeatedly failed to do so
In my case TUI finally acknowledged mistakes & have acted responsibly and as directed settled in full.
It was also only fair that my settlement took into account my actual losses and aspects of stress caused.
It’s taken a lot of time and energy , now almost 18 months to resolve what should have been settled long ago but good to have had back up of arbitration to finally get a fair resolution.

Thank you for your support.

I recently completed the CMC accredited mediation course with Hunt ADR. The training was intense but enjoyable and the role plays prepared me well for the assessment. Highly recommend.

Excellent process and very supportive. Some of the online stuff is difficult if you're not very IT savvy, but it's well worth taking the time to get it right in the end.

Learning with Hunt ADR Ltd was such good practical experience for me, as this prepared me for the end point assessment and has given me the confidence to put this into practice. I can not recommend this company highly enough, as they will certainly get you to where you need to be as an accredited Mediator.
