How Long Does the Entire Process Take?

The Tribunal will process each and every case as efficiently as possible, but it is impossible to predict the length of time because of a number of variable factors.

No two cases are the same. One case may be completed in several months. Another may take a year.

Therefore, no guarantees can be given either as to the length of time the process may take, or that a given case will result in an affirmative decision regarding invalidity or dissolution.

Documentary cases normally are completed very quickly.

Formal cases take longer because of the time required to obtain the testimony of witnesses.
