Paragraph 29 Procedure where there is more than one respondent

A single hearing may be held into allegations or complaints against two or more respondents.

Subject to paragraph (3), these Rules apply to such a hearing as they do to a hearing involving one respondent, but with the necessary adaptations and subject to any directions given by the Committee as to the order in which proceedings are to be taken in relation to each of the respondents.

The rights or a respondent under these Rules are to be exercised separately by each of the respondents who wishes to exercise them.
