An order determining a section 27B dispute (whether made under section 27C or made under or by virtue of any other provision of this Act) shall be made within the permitted period.
Subject to subsection (3), the permitted period is the period of two months beginning with the day on which the dispute is referred to the Authority.
Where the person determining the dispute requests further information from anyone for the purposes of determining the dispute, the person may, by giving notice to the parties, extend the permitted period—
If a person refers a dispute to the Authority, or purports to do so, and the Authority gives to that person a notice—
the dispute shall be treated for the purposes of subsection (2) as not referred to the Authority until the information is provided.
