Some friends of mine were in an arbitration related to home construction defects, of course not a ton of money and totally different industry and circumstance than Cel-Sci's case, and even that dragged out 2+ years. Maybe 3 years, I can't remember. They won more than they expected to, but the rescheduling and tactical delays (taking advantage of red tape/legal reasons to do so) by the other party seemed endless.
When was the start of the arbitration process for CVM again? I can't remember.
