12  When ACCC may terminate arbitration
 (1) The ACCC may terminate an arbitration of a dispute (without making a determination) if it considers that:
 (a) the notification of the dispute was vexatious; or
 (b) the subject matter of the dispute is trivial, misconceived or lacking in substance; or
 (c) a party to the arbitration has not engaged in negotiations in relation to the dispute in good faith; or
 (d) the access that is the subject of the dispute should continue to be provided under an existing arrangement between the access seeker and access provider.
 (2) In addition, if the dispute is about varying an earlier determination, the ACCC may terminate the arbitration if it considers that there is no sufficient reason why that determination should not continue to have effect.
