Introduction
Preface & Introduction

The CaseTrace case management system has been developed to streamline and digitize the case handling process for the Conciliation and Arbitration Boards (CAB). It serves as a comprehensive, secure, and user-friendly platform to manage cases efficiently from inquiry through closure.

This system enables users to perform complete end-to-end case management activities, including: adding new inquiries and converting them to applications and active cases; updating case statuses through closure; storing, managing and deleting case-related documents; tracking the three CAB surveys (Follow-up Assessments, Satisfaction Surveys, and Mediator Self-Assessments); and generating standard reports including quarterly caseload reports, ETR reports, and MER reports.

All CAB related resources including CAB Rules for Mediation and Conciliation Proceedings, Case Management Guidelines, Record Retention Policy, and other policies are available in the CaseTrace Library.

ℹ️
It is highly recommended that users familiarise themselves with the CaseTrace Library resources before using the system, as CaseTrace has been developed in alignment with these Guidelines, Policies, and related forms/templates.
