Article 6.5 Other hearings ex parte

Where the relevant provisions of the 1986 Act, the 1993 Act or the Rules do not require service of the application on, or notice of it to be given to, any person, the court may hear the application ex parte.

Where the application is properly made ex parte, the court may hear it forthwith, without fixing a venue as required by Rule 6.4(2).

Alternatively, the court may fix a venue for the application to be heard, in which case Rule 6.4 applies (so far as relevant).
