Rule 6E Discharge or variation of a special measures direction

An application to discharge or vary a special measures direction under Article 8(2) of the 1999 Order shall be in writing and shall specify each material change of circumstances which the applicant alleges has occurred since the direction was made.

An application under paragraph (1) shall be served, by the applicant, on the chief clerk and on each party to the appeal as soon as reasonably practicable after the change of circumstances occurs.

Any party on whom the application is served in accordance with paragraph (2) may oppose the application on the ground that it discloses no material change of circumstances.

Paragraphs (6) to (12) of Rule 6B shall apply to an application to discharge or vary a special measures direction as they apply to an application for a direction.
