Article 45 Transfer of proceedings
Where any proceedings before an adjudicator have not been disposed of by him and the Chief Adjudicator, or any person for the time being carrying out the functions of the Chief Adjudicator, is of the opinion that—
it is not practicable without undue delay for the proceedings to be completed by that adjudicator, or
for some other good reason the proceedings cannot be completed justly by that adjudicator,
he shall make arrangements for the appeal to be heard by another adjudicator.
Where any proceedings are transferred to another adjudicator in accordance with paragraph (1)—
any notice or other document which is sent or given to or by the adjudicator from whom the proceedings were transferred shall be deemed to have been sent or given to or by the adjudicator to whom the appeal is transferred; and
any adjudicator to whom an appeal is transferred shall have power to deal with it as if it had been commenced before him.
The powers of the Chief Adjudicator under this rule shall, with the appropriate modifications, also apply to the President in relation to proceedings before the Tribunal.
Where the Secretary of State notifies the Chief Adjudicator or the President, as the case may be, that section 78 applies, the Chief Adjudicator or the President shall transfer the proceedings to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission and shall notify the parties and their representatives (if any) of the transfer.
