Article 16 Hearing of Appeal
On the hearing of any appeal the appellate court may—
draw any inference of fact which might have been drawn in the proceedings in the consistory court;
give any judgment or direction which could have been given in the consistory court or remit the matter for rehearing and determination in the consistory court by the chancellor or a deputy chancellor, as the court considers appropriate;
make such order for costs, having heard argument on the subject of costs from the parties at the conclusion of the hearing of the appeal, as the court deems fit.
The judgment of the court may be delivered in writing and sent to the parties by the registrar of the appellate court, or delivered orally in the presence of not less than two members of the court as is deemed appropriate by the court.
The registrar of the court shall give notice in writing to the registrar of the diocese of the judgment of the court and any directions given by it at the hearing of the appeal or upon delivering judgment.
