General update
I have 3 matters in stage 1, DMS. All are currently confidential. They have provided an opportunity to reflect on how the DMS system is working. It is clear that there are some new DMS contacts who are not familiar with the system and there is some updating that could be useful.
Here is a quick quiz to test your skills!
- Where do you look to see if a matter can be referred to the dispute resolution mechanisms under chapter 8?
- What is your role as a DMS?
- Who can sign a form 1 in your organisation?
- If you are out of the time frame specified in the Rules what are your options?
- What is the difference between stage 1 and stage 2?
- What is a mediation v DRP?
If these questions are of interest there is going to be a no cost half day DMS refresher program. This is open to anyone in your organisation. It will be interactive and also provide a chance to network and discuss issues. The forum will be:
