Paragraph 5 I1I2

(1)

Condition D is that the scheme requires a reviewer—

(a)

to make a decision as to the extent to which a qualifying complaint is justified; and

(b)

to make that decision as soon as reasonably practicable.

(2)

A scheme does not fail to meet condition D only because it contains provision that a reviewer may dismiss a qualifying complaint without consideration of the merits if the reviewer considers the complaint to be frivolous or vexatious.
