Examination of Difference of Opinion

Once the petition for Binding Opinion is accepted by BAPMI, and BAPMI and the parties agree on the fee, BAPMI's Management initiates the examination of documents and agreements having been submitted by the parties. If necessary, BAPMI's Management may:

1. ask each party to complete the documents;
2. ask each party to present for explanation; and
3. bring experts to strengthen reasons/ arguments.

The examination process is closed to the public, and must be no later than 30 days (can be extended upon mutual agreement of the parties and BAPMI).
