It is. When the tribunal opened its doors, there was a 365-day period that was allocated to all parties to exchange documentation and to indicate their readiness to proceed. Only if both parties confirmed their readiness could we schedule the case, so for the first 365 days we were limited and waiting for parties to confirm their readiness. Now that we've implemented the new process, we are assigning the older cases first. For members, it is allowing them to process the cases much more rapidly.
