Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

Where a decision of an inspector on an appeal for which an inquiry has been held is remitted to the National Assembly for rehearing and re-determination in proceedings before any court, the National Assembly—

(a)

must send to the persons entitled to, and who did, take part in the inquiry a written statement of the matters on which further representations are invited in order for it to consider the appeal further;

(b)

must give those persons the opportunity of making written representations to it about those matters or asking for the re-opening of the inquiry; and

(c)

may, as it thinks fit, cause the inquiry to be re-opened (whether by the same or a different inspector) and if it does so paragraphs (2) to (8) of rule 9 apply as if references to an inquiry were references to a re-opened inquiry.

(2)

Those persons making representations or asking for the inquiry to be re-opened under paragraph (1)(b) must send such representations or requests to the National Assembly so as to be received within 3 weeks of the date of the written statement sent under paragraph (1)(a).
