99. The Régie may refuse or cease to examine a complaint(1) if the Régie has reasonable grounds to believe that the complaint is unfounded, vexatious or in bad faith or that an intervention on its part would serve no useful purpose;
(2) if more than one year has elapsed since the complainant became aware of the facts on which his complaint is based, unless the delay is justified by exceptional circumstances.
If the Régie refuses or ceases to examine a complaint, it shall inform the complainant and the electric power carrier or the distributor in writing of the reasons for such decision.
