Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

A core participant, or other person to whom rule 5(1)(b) applies, may appoint other qualified lawyers to assist that person’s recognised legal representative in the discharge of the legal representative’s functions.

(2)

Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1), in assisting a person’s recognised legal representative those other qualified lawyers may–

(a)

attend inquiry hearings; and

(b)

act as that person’s recognised legal representative if appropriate.

(3)

Where one of the other qualified lawyers is acting as a recognised legal representative by virtue of paragraph (2)(b), references in these Rules to a recognised legal representative apply to that lawyer as they apply to a recognised legal representative unless the context otherwise requires.
