England

(1)

An order made by the chancellor under F1section 78(1) of the Measure (which provides that, in addition to the matters prescribed in List A and List B, any matter specified in the order may be undertaken without a faculty) is known as “an additional matters order”.

(2)

The registrar of the diocese must—

(a)

register every additional matters order (or order that varies or revokes an additional matters order) in the diocesan registry;

(b)

arrange for its publication on the diocesan website;

(c)

send a copy to—

(i)

every archdeacon to whose archdeaconry the order applies;

(ii)

Where the chancellor has made an additional matters order, any matter specified in the order may be undertaken without a faculty in the diocese, or the part of the diocese, to which the order applies; but this is subject to paragraph (4).

Where an additional matters order specifies conditions in relation to a matter (including any condition as to who may undertake the matter), the matter may be undertaken without a faculty only if those conditions are complied with.
