Dispute policies
The settlement dispute process is detailed in the ISO Tariff Section 11 and the Business Practice Manual for Settlements and Billing.
Alternate dispute resolution
Most disputes under the tariff or agreements with the ISO are subject to the alternative dispute resolution procedure in Section 13 of the tariff. The first step in that procedure is negotiation under Section 13.2.1, sometimes known as good faith negotiations (GFN). If a dispute is not resolved through negotiations, a party may submit a Statement of Claim to commence further proceedings.
