(1)

Except where these Rules otherwise provide or the Court otherwise directs, every interlocutory application shall be made on not less than seven days' notice to the Director or, as the case may be, to every respondent concerned in the subject matter of the application, and the notice shall include particulars of the directions or order sought.

(2)

Except where the President of the Court or a judge, whether generally or in any particular case, otherwise directs, every interlocutory application (including an application under rules 33(4) and 49) shall be made to a judge, who may—

(a)

dispose of it himself; or

(b)

refer it in whole or in part to a Court consisting of a presiding judge and at least two other members; or

(c)

(except in the case of an application under rules 33(4) and 49) refer it in whole or in part to the Clerk of the Court, or officer acting as Clerk of the Court in Scotland or Northern Ireland, as the case may be;

and references in these Rules to the Court shall be construed accordingly.

(3)

Where an application is made or referred to the Clerk of the Court or officer acting as Clerk of the Court in Scotland or Northern Ireland, as the case may be, any party aggrieved by his decision may appeal to a judge within seven days of the decision on giving notice to all parties concerned and to the proper officer of the Court; and in that case the judge may dispose of the appeal himself, or refer it in whole or in part to a Court consisting of a presiding judge and at least two other members.

(4)

For the hearing of any interlocutory application or appeal, the Court or judge may sit either in private or in public.
