Rule 67 Adjournment of proceedings pending reference of devolution issue

^f1The proceedings in which an order is made under rule 68 or 69 for the reference of a devolution issue shall, unless the Court otherwise orders, be adjourned until the Court of Appeal or, as the case may be, the Judicial Committee, has determined the issue referred to it.

Nothing in paragraph (1) shall be taken as preventing the Court from deciding any preliminary or incidental question which may arise in the proceedings after an order referring the devolution issue is made and before the Court of Appeal or, as the case may be, the Judicial Committee.
