Article 9 Procedure of Commission of Review and orders as to costs

A Commission of Review shall sit in public and may receive such representations if any as it thinks fit.

Subject to the provisions of this rule and to any directions as to procedure given by the General Synod, a Commission of Review shall have power to regulate its own procedure.

A Commission of Review shall have power to make any such orders for the payment of costs (including costs incurred by the Commission of Review) or the giving of security for costs by the administrative body of the cathedral church concerned as seem to the Commission of Review to be just, and sections 60(3) and 61 of the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1963^f1 shall apply in relation to any order for payment of costs under this paragraph as they apply in relation to an order or direction for payment of, or award of, costs under section 60 of the said Measure.
