The Regulatory Tribunal written-challenge suspension is disclosed but not automatically applied.
The six-year residual period and Article 8.3 deemed-refusal date are self-check calculations only and are excluded from paid evidence records because governing-law, accrual and applicable-period conditions must be confirmed.
