In the normal course of action in mediation we are able to resolve something in a relatively short time. If it's an official case before the agency the standard timeline of the agency case takes precedence.
Remember that we're operating in a court atmosphere with natural justice. We have to give all parties time to look at the issue, present their evidence, evaluate their evidence, and let the members make a decision and issue an official decision. So it's a constrained timeframe, but it has been operating rather successfully over the last ten years that the act has been in place.
