Article 9 Restoration order without application

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Where no application has been made under rule 4(1) but it appears to the chancellor as the result of information brought to his attention (whether before or after faculty proceedings have been instituted) that there are grounds on which he might make a restoration order he shall not make such an order of his own motion by way of an order in Form No. 6 in the Appendix without first considering the desirability of

(a)

directing that a special citation be served on any person against whom such a restoration order might be made requiring the attendance of such person before the court at such time and place as is specified in the citation, and

(b)

giving that person an opportunity to be heard as to whether or not a restoration order should be made.
