Complaints and appeals are managed by the Executive Officer and adjudicated on by ad hoc committees appointed from non-conflicted industry panelists. Hearings are chaired by legally qualified persons. Processes followed are detailed in the Code. The MCA welcomes industry volunteer experts with at least 5 years’ experience, as panelists.

Appealing against a ruling of the MCA

Any party aggrieved by a ruling of an adjudicating committee may appeal against such ruling by giving written notice of the appeal (Notice of Appeal) on the prescribed form to the Executive Officer within seven business days from the date on which the ruling was made.
