DRA-2.1.18

The SRO may, subject to the approval of the SRO's Chief Executive Officer, dismiss a dispute where:

(a) The dispute is in the opinion of the SRO frivolous or vexatious;
(b) The matter has previously been considered or excluded by a former scheme, but has not been adjudicated upon under paragraph DRA-2.1.22 and an award made under Chapter 3 (unless material new evidence likely to affect the outcome has subsequently become available).
For the avoidance of doubt, all cases which have been settled as set out in rule DRA-2.1.9 (f) or for which an award has been made by the adjudicators must be dismissed;
(c) There are other compelling reasons why it is inappropriate for the dispute to be dealt with by the SRO; or
(d) The complainant is not cooperating.

For the avoidance of doubt, all decisions made by the SRO under this rule shall be final and conclusive and cannot be challenged by the complainant or the CMSP.
