are submitted to the appropriate authority under regulation 56(3).
(2) The appropriate authority shall determine whether the special conditions are satisfied.
(3) If the appropriate authority determines that the special conditions are satisfied then, unless it considers that the circumstances are such as to make it inappropriate to do so, it shall—

(b) take such steps as are required by those procedures in relation to a case so certified.
(4) The appropriate authority shall notify the IOPC DG of a certification under paragraph (3).
(5) If the appropriate authority determines—

(b) that, although those conditions are satisfied, the circumstances are such as to make it inappropriate at present to bring disciplinary proceedings,
it shall submit to the IOPC DG a memorandum under this paragraph.
(6) The memorandum required to be submitted under paragraph (5) is one which—
(a) notifies the IOPC DG of its determination that those conditions are not satisfied or (as the case may be) that they are so satisfied but the circumstances are such as to make it inappropriate at present to bring disciplinary proceedings; and
(b) (in either case) sets out its reasons for so determining.
(7) In this regulation “special conditions” has the meaning given by regulation 56(7).
