    <text>At any time after a dispute is filed under Section 13-319, a party to the dispute may submit a request to lift the automatic stay required under Section 13-319(e) to a hearing panel appointed under Section 13-324, or if no hearing panel has been appointed, a special standing panel authorized to consider requests for relief from stays.</text>
