Paragraph 4

The incumbent concerned may, within ten days after a list of the proposed members is sent to him, object to any one or more of them by sending to the said secretary a written notice specifying the member or members to whom he objects and stating, in relation to that member or each of those members, as the case may be, the grounds of his objection.

If notice of objection is duly given under sub-paragraph (1) above, the said secretary shall refer the matter to the chancellor of the diocese in which the parish in question is situated for him to determine whether the objection is reasonable and should accordingly be allowed, and his decision shall be final.

For the purpose of enabling him to decide whether the objection is reasonable, the chancellor may require the incumbent to supply him with such information as he may specify.

Where, in the case of any person objected to by the incumbent, the chancellor decides that the objection should be allowed, the said secretary shall nominate another person from the appropriate panel to serve in place of that member and shall inform the incumbent of the name of the person nominated.

Subject to sub-paragraph (6) below, the incumbent may within ten days after he is informed of the name of the proposed member nominated under sub-paragraph (4) above object to that member by sending to the said secretary a written notice stating the grounds of his objection, and sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) above shall have effect where notice of objection is duly given under this sub-paragraph as they have effect where such a notice is so given under sub-paragraph (1) above.

The incumbent shall not be entitled to object to a person nominated under sub-paragraph (4) above if, were the objection to be allowed, the result would be that the committee could not be constituted, there being no other person on the appropriate panel available for nomination as a member of the committee.
