Investigations Closed with Settlement

Investigations where a settlement was achieved between the parties and the settlement was approved by the Board.

Settlements when approved by the Board are final and binding on all industry participants and the Board. The Board must publicise the terms of every settlement agreement approved.  

• Settlements

Investigations Closed with no settlement achieved

Investigations where a settlement was not able to be achieved and the Board decided not to lay a formal complaint  with the Rulings Panel.

To date there have been 16 notified investigations where a settlement was not able to be achieved and were closed with no further action.  In addition there has been one investigation where a settlement was achieved for most of the alleged breaches under investigation. For the breach not resolved by settlement, the Commission decided that no formal complaint should be laid.

• Decisions to not lay a formal complaint
  

For most of these investigations a settlement was not possible due to there being no other party to the investigation, either no parties joined or parties joined and then subsequently withdrew.
