In the context of policing CoC 'infringements' then a threat of some action should be enough to defuse the situation.
Agreed.
There is no need to 'settle out of court', but my point was more one of the feeling these days that "out of court settlement" is little to do with what is right and more to do with what costs less without actually solving the problem. The aim of any 'stick' should be to get at the truth rather than pressure one party to settle for the others opinion ...
A fair point. If the process is perceived as biased, or intimidating for one side or the other, it would have a chilling effect rather than a calming one. In my mind, that makes defining due process even more important, to reassure everyone that the intimidation is not intended.
