Article 156

After consideration of documents submitted and having regard to any statement made orally or in writing and to the results of any investigation undertaken, the Disciplinary Board shall, by majority vote, deliver a reasoned opinion as to whether the facts complained of are established and as to any penalty to which those facts should give rise. This opinion shall be signed by all the members of the Disciplinary Board. Each member may attach to the opinion a divergent view. The Disciplinary Board shall transmit the opinion to the AACC and to the staff member concerned within two months of the date of receipt of the report of the AACC, provided that this time limit is commensurate with the degree of complexity of the case. Where an investigation has been held at the Disciplinary Board's initiative, the time limit shall be four months, provided that this period is commensurate with the degree of complexity of the case.
