# MARKET_NOT_DISPUTABLE

> HTTP 422 — Market not disputable

**HTTP status:** 422 · **Title:** "Market not disputable"

## When it fires

`POST /v1/markets/{id}/disputes` was called for a market that has no resolution proposal in a disputable state. The `detail` field says which case you hit:

* **"no pending proposal"**: nothing has been proposed yet, so there is nothing to dispute.
* **"settlement has begun"**, **"already finalized"** or **"already cancelled"**: the proposal has moved past `proposed`, so the right to dispute has ended.

A proposal whose dispute window has ended is refused with [`DISPUTE_WINDOW_CLOSED`](/developer-docs/api-errors/DISPUTE_WINDOW_CLOSED), and one whose disputes have already been reviewed with [`DISPUTE_DECIDED`](/developer-docs/api-errors/DISPUTE_DECIDED); both are 409. The filing is checked atomically against the live settlement state, so even if the market's `resolution` object showed `proposed` when you read it, a filing that races settlement is refused rather than recorded against a settled market.

## Why it happens

* The market is still trading, and no resolution has been proposed yet.
* Settlement began, or the proposal was finalized or cancelled, before your request arrived, possibly between your read of the market and your POST.

## How to fix

* Check the market's settlement state with `GET /v1/markets/{id}`. The `resolution` object carries `settlementStatus` and `finalizableAt` (`null` when no proposal is pending).
* If the market has no proposal yet, wait for one. Its dispute window opens when it is proposed and ends at `finalizableAt`.
* Once settlement begins the outcome is final; there is no late-dispute path through the API.
