Rule 76 Notice of restriction order
This rule applies where a relevant officer decides to impose a restriction order on a cleric in accordance with sections 34 and 35 of the CCM.
The relevant officer must give notice of the restriction order to the cleric in the form set out in Form 9.
The notice of restriction order must—
specify the grounds under section 34 (1) of the CCM on which the restriction order is imposed,
state that the restriction order takes effect on the date of service of the notice,
state that the restriction order, unless revoked, has effect for a period of three months beginning with that date,
state that a further restriction order may subsequently be imposed,
state that the effect of a restriction order is that the cleric must not take certain action specified in the notice (“restricted action”), except in so far as the relevant officer has given permission,
if the relevant officer, at the time of imposing the restriction order, gives permission for the cleric to take restricted action in accordance with the permission, specify the action and the terms of the permission,
state that a request from a cleric for permission to take restricted action (so far as it is not permitted on the terms specified in the notice under sub-paragraph (f)) must be made in writing to the relevant officer,
state that the cleric may, before the end of 14 days beginning with the day after the service of the notice of the restriction order, appeal against the decision to impose the restriction order.
If, after giving notice of the restriction order, the relevant officer gives permission for the cleric to carry out restricted action, the permission must be given in writing.
