Notes

The CAO will consider the relevance of concluded, pending or ongoing judicial or non-judicial proceedings at the assessment phase and during compliance appraisal. The CAO will then craft the terms of reference for compliance investigations in consideration of "limitations" like "the presence of concurrent judicial proceedings."
