CHANGE TO:
10. If the request is timely and otherwise proper, the Committee shall consider the request. The Committee may decline to consider a request that is trivial, frivolous or vexatious including where the alleged injury or penalty appears to be minimal.
10.1 If the Committee considers a request, it may make a summary decision with reasons, or it may investigate the request before making a decision. If the Committee investigates the request, it may require the member or the local union or accountable body to provide relevant documents or submissions, or obtain other relevant information from other sources, or hold a hearing, or take such other steps as are necessary to make a decision.
