Paragraph 5 Timetable for determination of multiple disputesI1

The Authority, when determining disputes falling within a consolidated group, must determine those disputes before the end of 6 months from the date when they were consolidated into that group under paragraph 4.

If the Authority is satisfied that there are good reasons for departing from the requirements of sub-paragraph (1), the period in which disputes falling within a consolidated group may be determined may be extended by notice to the representatives of any such group nominated under paragraph 10.
