Formal Stage Sample Clauses
The 'Formal Stage' clause defines the process by which disputes or issues are escalated to a structured, official procedure after informal resolution attempts have failed. Typically, this involves submitting a written complaint or notice, followed by meetings, hearings, or reviews conducted according to set timelines and protocols. Its core function is to ensure that unresolved matters are addressed systematically and fairly, providing a clear pathway for resolution and helping to prevent disputes from lingering or escalating unnecessarily.
