Cases Opened Clause Samples
The "Cases Opened" clause defines the circumstances and procedures under which a formal case or inquiry may be initiated under the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the triggers for opening a case, such as the receipt of a complaint, report of non-compliance, or detection of a potential issue, and may specify the steps required to document and process the case. Its core practical function is to establish a clear and consistent process for addressing concerns or disputes, ensuring that all parties understand when and how cases can be formally opened and managed.
Cases Opened. A case is opened when a party voluntarily agrees to submit a conflict to a dispute resolution service and gives the grantee permission to contact the other party/parties for the purpose of resolving the conflict through dispute resolution services. Cases are opened when it is determined to be appropriate for mediation/conciliation/ arbitration and one of the disputants, usually the initiator, agrees to proceed. The initiator agrees to become involved in solving a problem and gives permission or agrees to contact the 2nd party. This is the point where the determination that there is a case to work on is made. If a case is opened, it must ultimately be closed.
