Commitment application procedure extends filing and conclusion timelines, formalises defect refiling, and resumes inquiry after excluded-time expiry.
The amendments extend the period under regulation 3(3) to 60 days and require defective commitment applications to be returned for curing and refiling within 10 working days. Original application fees may be adjusted upon refiling, while failure to cure defects makes the application invalid. The period for conclusion of commitment proceedings is extended to 180 days, excluding time taken for information, clarification, or responses; if not concluded within that period, the inquiry resumes. References are also updated to the CCI (General) Regulations, 2024.
