34. Regional student ombudsmen may, upon summary examination, refuse or cease to examine any complaint if, in their opinion, it is frivolous, vexatious or made in bad faith.
Regional student ombudsmen may also refuse or cease to examine a complaint if(1) the complainant refuses or neglects to provide any information or document that the regional student ombudsmen consider relevant for a clear understanding of the facts;
(2) they have reasonable grounds to believe that their intervention would clearly serve no purpose; or
(3) the lapse of time between the facts on which the complaint is based and the receipt of the complaint makes it impossible to examine the complaint.
Regional student ombudsmen may, with the consent of the complainant, suspend the processing of the complaint if they consider that their intervention would be premature with regard to the complaint processing procedure provided for in Division I of this chapter.
