Limitation on settlement applications restricts late filings and excludes proceedings already pending before tribunals or courts.

Limitation under the settlement framework bars consideration of applications unless filed within sixty days from service of the notice to show cause or any supplementary notice to show cause; proceedings pending before a tribunal or any court are excluded. A previously operative provision allowing late applications on satisfaction of sufficient cause, with payment of a non refundable fee and increased settlement amount, has been omitted.
