corresponding deadline.
Article 53.
If there were exceptional circumstances in the course of a disciplinary
proceeding, the disciplinary bodies may decide to extend the times
established.
Article 54.
All protests, complaints, requests, arguments in defence or allegations
presented to the Disciplinary Judge must be resolved expressly within a
period of no more than seven days from the moment they were submitted,
after which they will be considered dismissed.
Article 55.
Once the disciplinary proceeding has been initiated and at any time therein,
the disciplinary body empowered to commence it may adopt the provisional
or conservatory measures it deems appropriate, in order to maintain the
orderly legal procedures and to ensure the effectiveness of the ruling that
will be issued. The disciplinary body is not obliged to hear the parties.
A provisional or conservatory measure can apply for up to 30 days and its
duration will be deducted from the final disciplinary sanction. The
disciplinary body may, exceptionally, extend the validity period of a
provisional or conservatory measure for up to 10 days.
Article 56.

the right to protest or file a complaint may be deducted from the costs
of the proceedings or even refunded.
