Guest Matt Posted February 28, 2018 at 03:29 PM Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 03:29 PM We recently had a Trial Board (Review Board) case against one of members for Conduct unbecoming of a Member. Under our Rules and Regulations it states "Board of Directors Review. The Board of Directors may review all cases decided by Trial Board. Either party may make a request for such review to the case or by the Board itself. This request must be filed within 45 days." In a bullet point just below it also states: "The Board of Directors may impose a suspension in any case over which it has proper jurisdiction." Would the Board of Directors Review constitute that they now have jurisdiction over the case? Any help would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds to me as though the time period during which the Board of Directors has jurisdiction begins when the matter has been "decided" by the Trial Board, and ends 45 days later.
