The committee further noted: “The process which has already taken longer than it should have continues to be fraught with objections from the parties at each stage, with the end nowhere in sight. The consent by one of the parties to be subject to the Committee’s enquiry has been given on certain conditions of which at least one is not acceptable to the Committee. And the concerned party is not willing to withdraw this condition. The upshot is that the Committee does not have the unconditional consent of both sides, which alone can be the source of its authority to proceed further in the matter.”
