  1. (a)

    to prescribe the procedure by which the personal representative may revive an application where an Applicant has died before his claims have been determined,

  2. (b)

    to impose a time limit after the expiration of which such an application can only be revived by leave of two Commissioners, and

  3. (c)

    to enable the Commission to review the determination of the application of a deceased Applicant of whom no personal representative has produced to the Commission a grant of representation (i) in the absence of any person to represent the estate of such deceased Applicant, or (ii) after appointing some person to represent the estate for the purpose of the review.
