The Faculty Jurisdiction Rules 2015

Departure from prescribed forms

20.6.—(1) Where a rule requires a document to be in a particular form prescribed by these Rules and that form is not in all respects suitable, the rule is to be construed as requiring a form in substantially the same form but subject to such variations as the circumstances require.

(2) The court may approve or give directions as to the forms that are to be used—

(a) where a faculty is sought—

(i) for exhumation;

(ii) for the reservation of a grave space;

(iii) in relation to a memorial in a churchyard or consecrated burial ground;

(b) in any other case where these Rules do not require a document to be in a particular form.
