Adjudication timeline

The adjudication process can be quite lengthy.

Once we receive your application, our dispute resolution coordinators review it and may ask you for more information. The other party will also be asked to comment on your application. These steps take time.

Once the application has been reviewed, and the other party has responded, the application is referred to an adjudicator. The average time from this referral to an order is 22 weeks.

To avoid this lengthy process, always try to resolve the dispute yourself first.
