Under this provision a three-man panel is commissioned. The club and the FA both nominate one member each and the chairman is independent.
The club has also requested that Rule K6 should be dispensed with so that the proceedings are not confidential and the issue is determined at a public hearing.
Leeds have vowed to keep supporters informed as to the progress of this request.
If Leeds were to be ultimately successfull they would now stand 11 points clear at the top of League One.
