PART 6Public Notice

Emergencies etc. – dispensing with giving of public notice

6.7.—(1) An order may be made under this rule in any case where the chancellor is satisfied—

(a)that the petition is concerned with addressing an emergency that involves interests of safety or health, or the preservation of a church or part of it, and is of sufficient urgency to justify the grant of a faculty without the giving of public notice under rules 6.1 to 6.6; or

(b)that other factors mean that it would not be expedient to require the giving of public notice under those rules.

(2) An order made under this rule may—

(a)dispense with the giving of public notice under those rules; and

(b)having regard to all the circumstances, contain directions for a specified period of notice to be given to such persons or bodies as the chancellor thinks fit.
