Article 19Trials and Appeals Trial of
Local Union Officers and Members If both the President and Secretary-Treasurer of the Local Union are charged or are preferring the charges, or for any reason are unable to attend the hearing, the remaining members of the Local Union Executive Board shall appoint the substitutes. In no event shall any involved officer or member serve on a hearing panel, participate in the selection of a substitute member of a hearing panel, or participate in the decision making process of the trial body. This prohibition shall apply to any proceeding conducted under Article XIX or any other Article of this Constitution. Charges by, against, or involving a majority of the members of a Local Union Executive Board shall be filed with the Secretary-Treasurer of the Joint Council for trial by the Joint Council Executive Board. Where there is no chartered Joint Council, reference in this Article XIX relating to trials and appeals by or before Joint Councils shall apply pursuant to Article XV to the appropriate existing State or Multi-State Conferences. (b). Whenever charges are preferred against any member or officer of a Local Union, the charges shall be filed in writing in duplicate with the Secretary-Treasurer of the Local Union, Joint Council or General Executive Board which is to try the case. Prior to notifying a member or officer that charges are filed, the Local Union Executive Board, Joint Council Executive Board or General Executive Board with which the charges have been filed shall review the charges and dismiss them if the charges have not been timely filed or if the act complained of does not constitute a violation subject to discipline under this Constitution or bylaws of the appropriate union entity. If the charges are dismissed, the charging party shall be notified in writing and may appeal directly to the General President. Appeals from the decisions of the General President may be filed with the General Executive Board or Ethical Practices Committee. Any such appeal shall be limited to the question of whether the charges are properly filed. In the event such appeal is granted, the charges will be returned to the body with which they were filed for trial on the merits. (c). No member or officer of a Local Union shall be tried unless he or she shall be served by the Secretary-Treasurer or his designee, personally or by registered or certified mail, with a written copy of such charges specifying the nature of the offense of which he or she is accused. Thereupon, the accused shall be required to stand trial at the time and place designated, which shall not be less than ten (10) days from the date the charges are served upon the accused. The accused may appear in person, and with witnesses, to answer the charges preferred against him or her. The accused may select only a member in good standing of his Local Union to represent him in the presentation of his defense; and the charging party may select only a member in good standing of his Local Union to assist him in the presentation of the evidence in support of the charges. The Local Union Executive Board shall upon the request of any party that a verbatim record be made, determine the manner of recording the proceedings. Any request by a party that a verbatim record be made must be honored by the Executive Board. The Local Union Executive Board shall have the authority to exclude any method of verbatim recording not authorized by it. All parties shall have access to such recording on an equal basis. (d). A member of one Local Union shall have a right to file charges against a member of another Local Union. Such charges must be filed with the Executive Board of the Local Union of which the accused is a member. The Executive Board may, at its discretion, decline to process the charges. However, a decision of the Executive Board not to process the charges may be appealed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2. (e). If the charges, or any portion thereof, are sustained, then the trial body shall render judgment and impose disciplinary actions as provided for in this Constitution. If the charges are not sustained, the same shall be dismissed. In order to be sustained, the charges must be supported by a preponderance of reliable evidence and a majority of the members of the panel must vote to find the charged party guilty. The decision of the hearing panel shall be in writing and shall set forth the reasons for the panel's findings. This requirement shall apply to any hearing required under Article XIX. (f). Upon filing of such charges and if the same are of such magnitude and seriousness as to jeopardize the interests of the Local Union or International Union then, and in that event, the General President, if the matter is brought to his attention, may, if he deems it advisable, immediately suspend such officer from office in the Local Union until a decision has been rendered in the case. Any officer so suspended shall have the right to file an appeal with the General Executive Board. Appeals from the decision of the General Executive Board may be filed with the Ethical Practices Committee which may determine only if the suspension pending trial was proper. Upon reversal of the suspension, the officer shall be made whole for all economic loss. (g). Charges may be preferred against a suspended member or an inactive member who has been issued a withdrawal card. Such suspended member or inactive member on withdrawal may utilize the appellate procedures available under this Constitution with respect to any charges filed against him. A suspended member or an inactive member on withdrawal may not file charge against an active member or officer. Appeals
of Local Union Officers and Members All manner of appeals shall be taken within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date the decision is placed in the mail or otherwise transmitted to the interested parties. (b). The appellant shall mail a written notice of such appeal to the Secretary of the body to which the appeal is directed. No specific form or formality shall be required except that such notice shall clearly state an appeal is being taken from the particular decision rendered in the particular case. Any party electing to appeal to the Convention, where such appeal is permitted, must notify the General Secretary-Treasurer within the time limit set forth in Section 2 (a) of this Article. Pending any appeal, the decision appealed from shall remain in full force and effect. Appeals shall be heard either on the record made before the trial tribunal or by a retrial, at the discretion of the body hearing the appeal. Where an appeal is heard by a Joint Council or the General Executive Board as a trial or retrial, a verbatim recording shall be made in a manner selected by the hearing panel. The hearing panel shall have the authority to exclude any method of verbatim recording not authorized by it. All parties shall have access to the hearing record on an equal basis. The date when an appeal will be considered by the appellate body may be fixed by it, but it shall proceed without unnecessary delay. No hearing on any appeal shall be held less than ten (10) days from the date on which notice of the hearing has been served on the parties unless all parties agree to waive this requirement. Notice of the date when the appeal will be heard shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail on the parties interested in the particular case, and such parties may, at the discretion of the appellate body, be accorded the right to appear before the appellate body and present argument on the case. Decisions on appeals shall be rendered within sixty (60) days after the appeal has been heard. Decisions shall be by majority vote of the hearing body. Decisions shall be in writing and shall set forth the reasons for the body's findings. (c). If a member of the Executive Board of the Joint Council is involved in a case as a party or witness or is unable to attend the hearing for any reason, a substitute shall be appointed from among the delegates to the Joint Council in accordance with the same procedures set forth in Article XIX, Section 1 (a), governing the appointment of substitutes on the Local Union Executive Board. If a member of the General Executive Board is involved in a case as a party or witness or is unable to attend the meeting at which the General Executive Board decides the case, the remaining members of the General Executive Board shall be empowered to decide the case. (d). Failure of any interested party in any case to appear before any trial or appellate body at the time and place designated in the notice shall constitute a waiver of appearance and the trial shall proceed or the appeal be heard regardless of the absence of such party. If the charging party fails to appear in person and/or present evidence before any trial or appellate body on the date set for trial or hearing, the charges shall be dismissed; such dismissal shall constitute a final adjudication from which there can be no appeal, and after such dismissal the accused may not be retried on the same charges. (e). Any party to a case, regardless of whether such party is the accused or not, being aggrieved of a decision rendered in the case shall be entitled to the same rights of appeal as are hereinbefore provided for the accused. (f). The charging party, the accused and the Local Union Executive Board may select only a member of the Local Union to represent them at a hearing conducted before any appellate body. Trials
and Appeals of Officers of Joint Councils, (b). All appeals from any decision of a trial body shall be filed with the General Executive Board and appellate review shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2 of this Article. (c). The General President shall have the authority set forth in Section 1 (f) of this Article with respect to any charges filed under this Section. Trials
and Appeals of Local Unions, (b). A Local Union shall be accorded thirty (30) calendar days time in which to appear for trial and submit its defense. In the case of a Joint Council or other subordinate body the time of trial shall be fixed by the General Executive Board. A verbatim record of any such trial shall be made in the manner selected by the hearing panel. Charges shall be sustained only by majority vote of the panel. Decisions shall be in writing, shall set forth the reasons for the body's findings, and shall be rendered within ninety (90) calendar days after the matter has been heard. (c). Appeals from decisions on charges against Local Unions or Local Union Executive Boards shall be taken to the General Executive Board and from it to the Convention. Appeals from decisions on charges against Joint Councils or other subordinate bodies shall be taken to the Convention by only the Joint Council or other subordinate body involved. In all other respects the procedure on appeals shall be the same as provided in Section 2. (d). Trial of elective International Union officers shall be only before the General Executive Board at such time and place as fixed by the General Executive Board. The officer charged shall be found guilty only on a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the uninvolved members of the General Executive Board who have heard the charges. Appeals from the decisions of the General Executive Board shall be to the Convention or to the Ethical Practices Committee, at the option of the appealing party. Charges against a majority of the members of the General Executive Board shall be filed with the Ethical Practices Committee or the Convention, at the option of the charging party. Charges against elective officers of the International Union or any subordinate body shall be limited only to those activities or actions occurring during their current term of office, and only those activities and actions occurring prior to their current term which were not then known generally by the membership of the International Union or the subordinate body in the case of an officer of a subordinate body. (e). Emergency powers provided for in Section 11 of this Article shall apply with the same force and effect to Local Unions and Joint Councils and other subordinate bodies. Original
Jurisdiction of General Executive Board (b). In any proceeding brought under this Section, the accused shall be afforded the appropriate notice provided in either Section 1 or 4 of this Article. All procedures set forth in Section 1 of this Article regarding the replacement of involved members of the trial panel shall be utilized to ensure an unbiased panel considers the matter. The accused shall be accorded all rights set forth in any other section of Article XIX. (c). Charges shall be filed in duplicate in writing with the General Secretary- Treasurer or the General President. A copy of the charges shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail upon the accused, together with notice of the time and place of trial. (d). If the accused are unable to be present at the meeting of the General Executive Board, they may present their case in writing. (e). Charges shall be sustained only by majority vote of the panel. Appeals from decisions of the General Executive Board shall be to the Convention or the Ethical Practices Committee, at the option of the appealing party. Trials
and Appeals Before Panels of Executive Boards The General Executive Board, in its discretion, shall have the authority to decide any appeal on the basis of written submissions without the conduct of a hearing. Grounds
for Charges Against Members, Officers and Subordinate Bodies Section 7 (a). No member or officer shall be required to stand trial on charges involving the same set of facts as to which he is facing criminal or civil trial until his final court appeal has been concluded. Nor shall a member or officer be required to stand trial on charges that are substantially the same or arise under the same circumstances as prior internal-union charges against such member or officer. Any charge based upon alleged misconduct which occurred more than two (2) years before the discovery of the conduct giving rise to the charge shall be rejected by the Secretary-Treasurer, except charges based upon the non-payment of dues, assessments and other financial obligations. Nothing herein shall preclude the General President with the approval of the General Executive Board, or the General Executive Board acting on its own initiative, from suspending a member or officer facing criminal or civil trial while the charges are pending. If exonerated the member or officer shall be made whole for all economic loss. (b). The basis for charges against members, officers, elected Business Agents, Local Unions, Joint Councils or other subordinate bodies for which he or it shall stand trial shall consist of, but not be limited to, the following:
Specific
Offenses Refusal
to Return Records Decisions
and Penalties (b). If the fine is assessed when the General Executive Board has assumed original jurisdiction, it shall be paid to the treasury of the International Union. In any other situation in which the General Executive Board assesses a fine, it shall be paid to the treasury of the subordinate body which first had jurisdiction to consider the charge. (c). When such penalty consists only of a fine and an appeal is taken, such fine shall be deposited as above provided; thereupon such member, elected Business Agent, officer, Local Union, Joint Council or other subordinate body shall be permitted to continue in the Local Union with full rights and privileges in accordance with the laws of the International Union. If on appeal the decision is reversed and the fine disallowed, then the same shall be returned to the party depositing the same. Whenever a decision is handed down by any trial or appellate body and an appeal is taken, such decision shall stand and remain in full force and effect until reversed by a higher body unless the General President upon request stays the effectiveness of the decision pending appeal. (d). In the event of non-compliance with the decision handed down by a trial or appellate body, the member, elected Business Agent, officer, Local Union, Joint Council or other subordinate body shall stand suspended from all rights and privileges under this Constitution until the provisions of the decision have been complied with, unless the General President has waived payment of a fine or stayed the effectiveness of the decision pending appeal. If, however, the decision carries with it an order of expulsion, then such order of expulsion shall immediately take effect, unless the General President has stayed the effectiveness of the decision pending appeal. (e). Any expelled member may be subsequently reinstated to membership in the Local Union from which expelled, or permitted membership in another Local Union, only by the action of the General Executive Board, subject to the review of the Ethical Practices Committee. (f). Any member or Local Union that is tried by the General Executive Board cannot be tried for the same offense by a Local Union or Joint Council. (g). The General Executive Board may send a case back to the Joint Council, the Local Union, or other hearing body or officer for further hearing, production of additional testimony, or for further consideration with or without such further hearing. Emergency
Power in General President to Conduct a Trial (b). When the General President deems it necessary to exercise the foregoing emergency power, he may deputize a member or members of the International Union to act as his representative or representatives in such matter. Such representative shall have the same power as the General President as herein provided; however, when a trial shall be conducted by a representative or representatives of the General President, such representative or representatives shall make his or their recommendations to the General President, orally or in writing, and the decision in the case shall be made by the General President himself. Refusal
of Local Union to Try Member Exhaustion
of Remedies (b). Where a Local Union, Joint Council or other subordinate body, before or following exhaustion of all remedies provided for within the International Union, resorts to a court of law and loses its cause therein, all costs and expenses incurred by the International Union may be assessed against such Local Union, Joint Council or other subordinate body, in the nature of a fine, subject to all penalties applicable where fines remain unpaid. Where such court action is by a Local Union, Joint Council or other subordinate body against a Local Union, Joint Council or other subordinate body, the foregoing provision in respect to the payment of costs and expenses shall be applicable in favor of the Local Union, Joint Council or other subordinate body proceeded against in court. (c). The appeals procedure provided herein is also available to and must be followed by any active or inactive member, who is aggrieved by any decision, ruling, opinion or action of the Local Union, membership, officers, or Executive Board, excluding collective bargaining matters. Independent
Review Board (b). The Independent Review Board: (1) Shall decide all cases referred to it in accordance with Article XIX of this Constitution and affirm, reverse, or modify any decision appealed from. (2) Shall investigate any allegations of corruption, including bribery; extortion; embezzlement; use or threats of force or violence against members to interfere with or extort their rights under this Constitution or their union democracy rights under applicable law, including their right to assemble, express their views, vote, seek election to office, support the candidates of their choice, and participate in the affairs of the Union; acceptance of money or other things of value from any employer or any agent of an employer, in violation of applicable law; and any act of racketeering activity, as defined in applicable law; any allegations of domination, control, or influence over any affiliate, officer, member, employee, or representative by any organized crime family or any other criminal group; any allegations of knowing association with any person enjoined from participating in union affairs; and any failure to cooperate fully with the Independent Review Board in any investigation of the foregoing. (3) Shall have the authority to exercise any investigative authority vested in the General President or General Secretary-Treasurer by the 1986 Constitution and/or this Constitution, as well as any and all applicable provisions of law. (4) Shall have the authority to hire such staff, including investigators and attorneys, as it deems necessary to carry out its functions. (5) Shall issue, upon completion of an investigation, a written report detailing its findings, charges, and recommendations concerning discipline of officers, members, employees, and representatives, and concerning the placing in trusteeship of any subordinate body, which reports shall be available during business hours for public inspection at the International Union's office in Washington, D.C. (c). (1) The Independent Review Board shall refer in writing any findings, charges, or recommendations regarding discipline or trusteeship matters to an appropriate Union entity for review, investigation, or action within the authority of that entity under this Constitution and applicable law. The Independent Review Board may designate any such matter as an original jurisdiction case for General Executive Board review. Copies of all written referrals shall be sent to the General President and General Executive Board. The Union entity to which the matter has been referred shall promptly take whatever action is appropriate under the circumstances and shall, within ninety (90) days of the referral, make written findings setting forth the specific action taken and the reasons for that action. (2) The Independent Review Board shall monitor all matters which it has referred for action. If, in the Review Board's sole judgment, the Union entity to which a matter has been referred has not pursued or decided the matter in a lawful, responsible, or timely manner, or has implemented or proposed a resolution of the matter that is inadequate under the circumstances, the Review Board shall notify the Union entity involved of its view, and the reasons therefor, and provide a copy of such notice to the General President and General Executive Board. The Union entity so notified shall, within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice, set forth in writing any and all additional actions it has taken or will take to correct the defects set forth in the notice and specify a deadline by which said action will be completed. (3) Upon consideration of the Union entity's written response, the Independent Review Board immediately thereafter shall issue a written determination concerning the adequacy of the additional action taken and/or proposed by the Union entity involved. If the Review Board concludes that the Union entity has failed to take or propose satisfactory action to remedy the defects set forth in the Review Board's notice, the Review Board shall promptly convene a hearing on the matter, after notice to all affected parties. Parties to such hearings shall be permitted to present any facts, evidence, or testimony relevant to the issues before the Review Board. Hearings shall be conducted under rules and proceedings, generally applicable to labor arbitration hearings, to be established by the Review Board. In establishing such rules and procedures, the Review Board may incorporate procedural requirements contained elsewhere in this Article, together with such additional safeguards, such as the right to counsel, as in the judgment of the Review Board shall ensure a fair hearing. (4)
After conducting a fair hearing, the Independent Review Board shall issue a
written decision, and send it to the General President, each member of the
General Executive Board, and all affected parties. The Review Board's decision
shall be final and (5) The Independent Review Board shall have the right to examine and review the General Executive Board's implementation of its decisions and, if dissatisfied, to take whatever steps are appropriate to ensure proper implementation of any such decisions. (d). The Independent Review Board shall have the right to receive copies of and review any disciplinary or trusteeship decision of the General Executive Board and affirm, modify, or reverse any such decision in a written, final, and binding decision. (e). The Independent Review Board may use the Review Board staff to assist in the exercise of the Review Board's powers and the performance of its duties. The ultimate decision in cases that come before it shall rest with the Review Board. (f). AlI decisions of the Independent Review Board shall be by majority vote. (g). The International Union shall pay all costs and expenses (including salaries) of the Independent Review Board and its staff. Invoices for all costs and expenses shall be directed to the General President for payment. (h). The Independent Review Board will operate from offices as close as practicable to the International Union's headquarters in Washington, D.C. It shall have the authority to conduct hearings at such locations as the members deem appropriate. (i). All officers, members, employees, and representatives of the International Union and its affiliated bodies shall cooperate fully with the Independent Review Board in the course of any investigation or proceeding undertaken by it. Unreasonable failure to cooperate with the Review Board shall be deemed to be conduct which brings reproach upon the Union, and which is thereby within the Review Board's investigatory and decisional authority. Ethical
Practices Committee (b). The Ethical Practices Committee shall be composed of five persons. Each Area Conference shall recommend one member of the Ethical Practices Committee to the General Executive Board for review and appointment. After such appointment the names of the committee members shall be submitted for approval to an Independent Review Board as set forth in the Consent Decree entered in United States v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters, et. al, 88 Civ. 4486 (S.D.N.Y.) (DNE), which shall be comprised of three members selected as follows: One chosen by the Attorney General of the United States, one chosen by the IBT, and a third person chosen by both the Attorney General's designee and the IBT designee. In the event of vacancy, the replacement shall be selected in the same manner as the person being replaced. In the event of the Review Board's refusal to approve one or more of the proposed members of the Ethical Practices Committee the designating Conference or Conferences and the General Executive Board shall submit proposed replacements. Upon approval of the Ethical Practices Committee as appointed by the General Executive Board such Review Board shall be discharged from performance of any further duties, and compensated on a basis agreed upon for services performed. The members of this initial Ethical Practices Committee shall serve and perform all duties set forth herein until the completion of the 1996 Convention. At the 1996 Convention, the General Executive Board shall propose, subject to delegate ratification, five (5) members of the Ethical Practices Committee, on the basis of one (1) Ethical Practices Committee member from each Area Conference. Persons serving on the Ethical Practices Committee at the time of the 1996 Convention shall be eligible for reappointment. Members of the Ethical Practices Committee approved by the 1996 Convention shall serve a five (5) year term. Members of the Ethical Practices Committee shall not be subject to removal except upon a determination by a majority of the remaining members of the Ethical Practices Committee of dishonesty or fraud. In the event of a vacancy on the Ethical Practices Committee at any time, a replacement shall be selected by the General Executive Board from person(s) recommended by the appropriate Area Conference. (c). The Ethical Practices Committee shall have authority to render final and binding decisions on matters appealed pursuant to any other Section of Article XIX of this Constitution. (d). The Ethical Practices Committee shall consider any allegation of corruption made by a member against any officer, member, or Union entity constituting a specific violation of this Constitution or the Bylaws of any affiliate if it determines, after investigation, that the complaining member has a reasonable belief that he cannot receive a fair consideration of his charges through compliance with the procedures set forth in other Sections of Article XIX or where the complaining member has attempted to utilize said appropriate procedures but has not received consideration by the Union entity having jurisdiction to consider the complaint within two (2) months of its filing. In the event the Ethical Practices Committee concludes that there was no reasonable basis for the complaining member to file his charges directly with the Ethical Practices Committee rather than the appropriate Union entity, the Ethical Practices Committee may make judgment with respect to the lack of good faith of the complaining member. If the facts indicate that the complaining member acted in bad faith or with malicious intent and in a willful effort to divide and disrupt the Union, the Ethical Practices Committee may assess a non-monetary penalty against the complaining member; provided, however, that such penalty shall be limited to a maximum suspension from membership for a period of not more than three (3) months. (e). The Ethical Practices Committee shall investigate any allegations of corruption by any affiliate, member or representative which do not constitute specific violations of this Constitution or an affiliate's Bylaws, but which constitute violations of applicable law. In making such determinations, the jurisdiction of the Ethical Practices Committee shall be established by the criminal laws of the country of which the accused member is a citizen, except that if the alleged corrupt act is directed against a member or Union entity, the criminal laws of the country within which the alleged act occurred will apply. (f). Any matter concerning allegations of corruption may be submitted to the Ethical Practices Committee by the General Executive Board, regardless of whether a complaint concerning said allegations has been filed with another Union entity. (g). In conducting investigations and hearings, the Ethical Practices Committee will utilize the procedures set forth in other Sections of Article XIX for protecting the rights of all members, except that any person summoned to answer charges before the Ethical Practices Committee may be represented by counsel, in addition to a fellow member in good standing. The Ethical Practices Committee may adopt rules of procedure which do not diminish rights of parties as established by this Constitution or applicable law. (h). Decisions of the Ethical Practices Committee shall be in writing and shall set forth the basis for the findings and penalties imposed, if any. Decisions shall be made by a majority of the Ethical Practices Committee. The Ethical Practices Committee may at its discretion, conduct hearing using a panel of less than all committee members. However, no such panel shall consist of less than three (3) members of the Ethical Practices Committee. The Ethical Practices Committee shall not delegate its hearing or decision making authority to any person or persons. (i). The Ethical Practices Committee or the panel thereof, shall advise the complaining member, the International Union, and any concerned subordinate body or bodies of its decision and findings. (j). The Ethical Practices Committee shall have the authority to hire such staff, including investigators and attorneys, as it deems necessary to carry out its functions. The Ethical Practices Committee shall prepare an annual operating budget to ensure its proper functioning. The General Secretary-Treasurer shall deposit quarterly, in a depository designated by the Ethical Practices Committee, to the account of the Ethical Practices Committee the necessary funds required by its budget. Such a budget shall cover all necessary expenses, including office, staff, travel and operating expenses. Members of the Ethical Practices Committee shall be compensated at the same rate as Vice-Presidents-International Representatives, as set forth in Article V, Section 1(a). The Ethical Practices Committee will operate from offices as close as practicable to the International Union's headquarters in Washington, D.C. It shall have the authority to conduct hearings at such locations as the members deem appropriate. The staff and office personnel essential to the proper functioning of the Ethical Practices Committee shall be selected by the members thereof and shall be compensated out of its operating budget. The Ethical Practices Committee shall be required to have its books and financial records audited annually; such audits and the summary of the financial transactions shall be submitted to the General Secretary-Treasurer, who in turn shall make such information available to the delegates at each Convention. (k). The Ethical Practices Committee shall have authority to review documents and interview witnesses necessary to complete its investigation. All officers, members, employees and representatives of the International Union and its affiliates shall cooperate fully with the Ethical Practices Committee in the course of its investigation or proceeding undertaken by it. Unreasonable failure to cooperate shall be a violation of this Constitution, pursuant to Section 7(b)(12) of this Article. (l). The Ethical Practices Committee shall prepare and submit to the membership an Annual Report of its activities, in which report it shall draw the attention of the membership to any situation or action which it has investigated upon complaint and found to be improper, and shall comment upon the steps that have been taken by the Union to correct such a situation. The Ethical Practices Committee shall further include a summary of all appeals it has handled during the year. Copies of the Ethical Practices Committee's Annual Report shall be mailed to all Local Unions. Copies shall be available to members upon request and during convention years copies shall be distributed to all delegates. The Ethical Practices Committee may, in its discretion, submit an Interim Report. Such an Interim Report shall also be made available to all members in the same manner as the Annual Report. |
