Judicial and Disciplinary Rules



A number of proposals were approved, including:



-       A facility whereby any interested person can bring an appeal directly before the ICA (or a request with a view to being heard as a third party before the IT or the ICA) without being obliged to go through their ASN/ACN. This is only an option. The person concerned will still be able, as in the past, to ask their ASN/ACN to lodge the appeal/request formally on their behalf.



 However, this direct action will be admissible only on condition that, at the time of lodging the appeal/request, the person concerned provides proof that they have informed their ASN/ACN of their action beforehand. The ASN/ACN in question may then, if it so chooses, decide to present its own written and/or oral submission before the Court (or the IT).

The FIA Membership unanimously approved the 2016 FIA Financial Accounts and the 2018 FIA Budget.

-           Not currently funded.
