In the event of a problem or a continuing
dispute, any of the parties may ask the Commission to facilitate
and to advise them about how the dispute might be resolved.
Where all parties to the dispute agree, the Commission will
provide these services, or assist the parties to obtain outside
dispute resolution services where necessary.
If outside services are required, such
as an ongoing chair, facilitator or mediator, the parties
to the dispute must retain that person themselves and share
the cost of such services.
Where all parties agree, the Commission will:
facilitate negotiations
or assist the parties to obtain an outside facilitator;
advise the parties
how their particular dispute might be resolved;
make information
available on various dispute resolution options;
identify when
the parties should consider retaining outside dispute
resolution services;
maintain an
up-to-date list of qualified people who are available
to offer dispute resolution services.
