Just off-hand Andy...
This simply can't be.
E.g. if you defame me, I have the right to seek legal redress AND lodge a complaint with the Standards Committee (if the defamation falls within a CS remit, e.g. you do so on the CS forum, through the CS magazine, at a registered congress, etc.)
I'm sure that any kind of proposal which attempts to exclude the right to legal redress wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on in a legal sense anyway.
