      For \(n \geq 3\) the authors improve the homotopy stability dimension for the space of all monic polynomials of degree \(d\) in \(\mathbb C [z]\) without roots of multiplicity \(\geq n\) obtained in [the authors with \textit{M. A. Guest}, Fundam. Math. 161, No. 1--2, 93--117 (1999; Zbl 1016.55004)]. The main result relies on a key unstable result whose proof uses the ``Vassiliev spectral sequence induced from the non-degenerate simplicial resolution of the discriminant \(\Sigma^d_n\).'' The paper is well-structured, reviews basic results on stabilisation and summarises the definitions of the non-degenerate simplicial resolution and the associated truncated simplicial resolutions.
