Grounds for Decision
1. The Ethics Committee may decide not to communicate the grounds of a decision and instead communicate only the terms of the decision. At the same time, the parties shall be informed that they have ten days from receipt of the terms of the decision to request, in writing, the grounds of the decision, and that failure to do so will result in the decision becoming final and binding.
2. If a party requests the grounds of a decision, the reasoned decision shall be communicated to the parties in full, written form. The time limit to lodge an appeal, where applicable, begins upon receipt of this reasoned decision.
3. If the parties do not request the grounds of a decision, a short explanation of the decision shall be recorded in the case files.
