Conciliation Conferences at the Tribunal

The Tribunal will usually order that the parties participate in a Conciliation Conference to see if the complaint can be resolved without proceeding to a Final Hearing.

Conciliation Conferences are conducted by a specialist Tribunal conciliator, the Registrar of the Tribunal or one of the Tribunal Members.

Conciliators do not make a decision about the complaint. Their role is to facilitate discussions between the parties about resolving the complaint.

The discussions in the Conciliation Conference are confidential. The parties cannot tell a Tribunal Member what was said in the conference and the conciliator cannot tell a Tribunal Member what was discussed.
