Key takeaways

✓
The RoP provides for a balanced timing regime. With a three-month time period for filing the statement of defense, the RoP already provides for the longest time period of the timing regime. This time period is designed to allow for investigation of the facts and internal coordination, even if the time period should cover a potential vacation period.
