Paragraph 4 Death of a party to an appeal

In any proceedings, on the death of a party to those proceedings, the Secretary of State may appoint a person to proceed with the appeal in the place of such deceased party.

A grant of probate, confirmation or letters of administration in respect of the estate of the deceased party, whenever taken out, shall have no effect on an appointment made under sub-paragraph (1).

Where a person appointed under sub-paragraph (1) has, prior to the date of such appointment, taken any action in relation to the appeal on behalf of the deceased party, the appointment shall be treated as having effect on the day immediately prior to the first day on which such action was taken.
