Article 29 Appointment of deputy registrar

If at any time the chancellor considers it is necessary or expedient to do so, he may appoint a person to act as deputy to the registrar of the diocese to discharge the registrar’s functions in relation to such appeal or appeals as the chancellor may specify from time to time, and any deputy so appointed shall have all the powers and perform all the duties of the registrar of the diocese under these Rules in relation to that appeal or those appeals.

Any deputy appointed under paragraph (1) of this rule shall be the registrar of another diocese or some other person who complies with the requirements of paragraphs 2 and 3 of Canon G4 of the Canons of the Church of England regarding registrars (subject to the substitution in the said paragraph 2 of a reference to the chancellor for a reference to the archbishop or bishop).

Any appointment under paragraph (1) of this rule shall require the consent of the registrar of the diocese unless he is unable to give such consent because of absence, illness or incapacity.
