Arbitration transparency: The pubs code adjudicator (PCA) and the British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) have made an agreement on pubs code details. The BBPA have outlined a framework under which Pubcos would agree to waive confidentiality. It listed measures the BBPA and the six big pubcos - Admiral Taverns, Ei Group, Greene King, Marston's Punch & Star Pubs & Bars - wanted to see in place before agreeing to make arbitration decisions public.

The PCA said it would publish the measures later in the Autumn. This will help to increase tied tenants understanding of what to expect when exercising their code rights. The PCA stated "We are satisfied that the approach delivers the level of transparency that all parties have been seeking, while respecting personal & commercial sensitive information."
