Article 22 Conduct of case on behalf of relevant infant.
Except where—
the relevant infant or his parent or guardian is legally represented, or
the proceedings are brought under section 1 of the Act of 1969 in pursuance of a request made by his parent or guardian for the purposes of section 3(1) of the Act of 1963 or in pursuance of an order thereunder, or
the court has under section 32A of the Act of 1969 ordered that in relation to the proceedings his parent or guardian is not to be treated as representing the relevant infant or as otherwise authorised to act on his behalf,
the court shall, unless the relevant infant otherwise requests, allow his parent or guardian to conduct the case on his behalf, subject however to the provisions of rule 23(2).
If the court thinks it appropriate to do so it may, unless the relevant infant otherwise requests or a guardianad litem has been appointed, allow a relative of his or some other responsible person to conduct the case on his behalf.
