Article 17 Substituting parties

Where, at any time between the order granting final leave to appeal and the dispatch of the record to the Registrar of the Privy Council, the record becomes defective by reason of the death or change of status of a party to the appeal, the Court may, notwithstanding the order granting final leave to appeal and on an application in that behalf made by any person interested, grant a certificate showing who, in the opinion of the Court, is the proper person to be substituted or entered on the record in place of or in addition to the party who has died or undergone a change of status; and the name of such person shall thereupon be deemed to be so substituted or entered on the record without express Order of Her Majesty in Council.

Where the record, after its dispatch to the Registrar of the Privy Council, becomes defective by reason of the death or change of status of a party of the appeal, the Court shall, upon an application in that behalf made by any person interested, cause a certificate to be transmitted to the Registrar of the Privy Council showing who, in the opinion of the Court, is the proper person to be substituted or entered on the record in place of or in addition to the party who has died or undergone a change of status.
