(a) bank guaranteed cheque; or
(b) electronic transfer into the bank account of the Council.

 

(4) Within 14 days of receiving a request in terms of sub rule (1) and payment of the prescribed fee, the Council must notify the parties to the pre-dismissal arbitration when and where the pre-dismissal arbitration will be.

 

(5) Unless the parties agree otherwise, the Council must give the parties at least 14 days' notice of the held commencement of the pre-dismissal arbitration.

 

(6) The Council will be required to refund a fee paid in terms of sub rule (3), only if the Council is notified of the resolution of the matter prior to issuing a notice in terms of sub rule (4).
