Article 18

If the judge of the consistory court orders the retrial of the accused under section 29 of the Measure, rule 15 shall apply for the purpose of selecting assessors for the retrial, and rules 16 and 17 shall apply to the proceedings at the retrial, in like manner as they apply to the trial.

Unless the judge fixes the time and place of the retrial in the presence of the parties, the registrar shall give not less than 14 days' notice thereof.

If the judge under the said section pronounces the accused to be acquitted of the offence or offences of which he is charged, the pronouncement shall be reduced to writing and copies thereof shall be given to both parties, and the registrar shall file a copy in the registry.
