Mediation time limits: default three-month completion, termination on expiry, possible single three-month extension on application. The rule sets a three-month deadline for completing mediation or conciliation from the date of appointment of the expert, after which the process is terminated. For matters tied to Tribunal or Appellate Tribunal proceedings, the Tribunal or Appellate Tribunal may, on application by the mediator, conciliator or any party, grant a single extension not exceeding a further three months.
