These facts determine the ultimate disposition of each case. Further, this explanation does not attempt to describe all the steps which are possible in a particular case. The procedure will take time, and in some instances a rather long time. It's difficult to predict just how long it will take to deal with any particular grievance. Much depends on the nature of the grievance, and whether the facts are disputed.
Every additional step adds time.
Some cases are resolved in a matter of weeks. Most require several months. A few cases, particularly those where a hearing before a referee and appeal to the Supreme Court are involved, may take a year or two. While we cannot tell you how long it will take to deal with your grievance, we want to assure you that we will handle it as quickly as possible and that you will be notified of the outcome. You will receive some further communication from this office with respect to your grievance after we complete the initial review.
