Disciplinary and Disputes Committee
Addressing disciplinary issues and disputes in the interest of professionalism
AIIC’s Disciplinary and Disputes Committee (DDC) is responsible for dealing with alleged breaches of the rules as set out in our basic texts, as well as disputes arising between members, candidates, bodies of the Association or even between the general public and any part of the Association.
The DDC’s work begins when it receives either a complaint or a request for dispute settlement and subsequently determines admissibility. It may also act on its own initiative if it observes a breach of the Association’s rules and regulations when investigating a different matter brought to its notice.
How to submit a case to the DDC
Any member of the Association, candidate, pre-candidate, Association body or member of the general public wishing to submit a complaint to the DDC should complete the appropriate form, which is obtainable from the Secretariat.
Once completed, the form and any attachments should be returned to the Secretariat. The Secretariat ensures that the form contains all the required information before sending the complete dossier to the DDC Bureau.
Ahead of completing and submitting the form, users are advised to consult the DDC’s Rules of Procedure, particularly Article 5 (Disciplinary Procedure) and/or Article 6 (Dispute Settlement).
