Resolution methods
Our CEO can allow other types of disputes to be dealt with by arbitration or by mediation, conciliation or case appraisal. The CEO decides this on a case-by-case basis taking into account factors, such as:
- the dispute is longstanding
- the parties have made reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute
- the dispute will not be resolved in the foreseeable future
- the outcome of the dispute may set a precedent for dealing with similar disputes.
Our CEO can allow a broader range of other types of disputes to be dealt with by mediation, conciliation or case appraisal instead of an arbitration hearing.
Types of disputes the CEO cannot approve
Our CEO cannot approve the following kinds of disputes for arbitration:
- ‘field of play’ decisions made on the playing field by judges, referees, umpires or other officials, who are responsible for applying the rules or laws of the particular game
- disputes in which damages as a remedy are being sought from a party to the dispute.
