After you submit your dispute, OFS will first assess the eligibility of your dispute, followed by an assessment on the merit of the dispute. During the merit assessment, OFS may dismiss your dispute pursuant to our TOR, inter alia, if the dispute is found to be clearly unsustainable against the Member concerned, or if the dispute is frivolous, vexatious or lacking in substance. In addition, OFS may also dismiss the dispute at any stage in the Dispute Resolution Process.

If your dispute passes the initial assessment, the matter proceeds to the case management, where our case manager will facilitate parties to resolve the dispute in a mutually acceptable settlement. If parties failed to reach a settlement , the Case Manager will review the dispute and issue a Recommendation within 30 days. If no settlement made at case management stage, the matter will then proceed to adjudication during which the Ombudsman will issue a final decision.

Ombudsman is an officer appointed by the Board to adjudicate disputes. The role of the Ombudsman is to adjudicate disputes independently and his/her decision is final and end of OFS' dispute resolution process.

OFS will endeavour to resolve all disputes received within 3 to 6 months from the date of receipt of full and complete documents from you and the Member concerned depending on the complexity of the dispute.
