Which step is typically required before CAV involvement?

• A. Attempts to resolve matters first
• B. Immediate court filing
• C. Paying a separate fee to the CAV
• D. Hiring a private attorney first

Answer: (A)

Before CAV gets involved, you usually need to try to resolve the dispute directly with the other party. This shows a willingness to settle things informally and gives the other side a chance to fix the problem without formal steps. For example, you might send a written request for resolution or enter into a brief negotiation or mediation to reach an agreement. Only after those attempts, or if they fail, would you move toward formal involvement with CAV. The other options aren’t typically required first. Jumping straight to court usually bypasses CAV, paying a separate fee to CAV isn’t a standard prerequisite, and hiring a private attorney isn’t required to involve CAV (though you can have representation later if needed).
