The powers of the Court of Appeal under this Part which are specified in paragraph (2) may be exercised by the registrar.

The powers mentioned in paragraph (1) are—

(a)

to extend the time within which notice of application for leave to appeal may be given;

(b)

to order a witness to attend for examination;

(c)

to vary the conditions of bail granted to an offender by the Court of Appeal; and

(d)

to make orders under article 9(1)(a) (production of documents etc.).

(3)

Subject to paragraph (4), the powers specified are to be exercised by the registrar in the same manner as the Court of Appeal and subject to the same provisions.

(4)

No variation of the conditions of bail granted to an offender may be made by the registrar unless he is satisfied that the specified prosecutor does not object to the variation.

If the registrar refuses an application on the part of an offender, or as the case may be, a specified prosecutor, to exercise any of the powers conferred on the registrar by this article, the offender or specified prosecutor shall be entitled to have the application determined by a single judge.
