Important Notice #2 - November 8, 2006
The Claims Administrator has completed its review of all claims filed and at the end of August, provided written notification to the claimants of whether their claim has been approved, partially approved or rejected. At the time of notification all claimants were provided with 30 days, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, to provide written notification to the Claims Administrator should they disagree with the acceptability of their claim.
The Claims Administrator has reviewed all appeals submitted, and has notified the appellants of whether their appeal has been successful or whether the Claims Administrator is still unable to accept the claim, or portion of the claim, as filed. Appeals which continue to be disputed must be determined by the Court, and it is only once this process has been completed that the Claims Administrator will be in a position to issue a one time distribution to claimants.
