38 Termination of arbitration by arbitrator An arbitrator may, without making a determination, terminate the arbitration at any time if the arbitrator considers that any of the following grounds exists: (a) the notification of the dispute was vexatious; (b) the subject matter of the dispute was trivial, misconceived or lacking in substance; (c) the party who notified the dispute has not engaged in negotiations honestly; (d) access to the services should continue to be governed by an existing contract between the access provider and the third party; (e) if the dispute is about varying an existing determination—there is no sufficient reason why the previous determination should not continue to have effect in its present form.
