EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT If you don’t want a payment from the Settlement and you want to keep your right, if any, to bring a lawsuit or arbitration against the defendant over the matters at issue in this case, then you must take steps to get out of the Settlement. This is called excluding yourself from—or “opting out” of—the settlement class.
Dispute Settlement 1. A Party may not initiate proceedings under the general dispute settlement provisions of this Agreement regarding a refusal to grant temporary entry under this Chapter unless: (a) the matter involves a pattern of practice; and (b) the business person has exhausted the available administrative remedies regarding the particular matter. 2. The remedies referred to in subparagraph 1(b) shall be deemed to be exhausted if a final determination in the matter has not been issued by the competent authority within one year of the institution of an administrative proceeding, and the failure to issue a determination is not attributable to delay caused by the business person.
