Regulation 43
Objection to decision on reference (O. 33, r. 43)
Subregulation 1
Any party to a reference to the Registrar may, by summons, apply to a Judge to set aside or vary the decision of the Registrar on the reference, but the summons, specifying the points of objection to the decision, must be filed —
within 14 days after the date on which notice of the filing of the decision was sent to that party under Rule 42(4); or
if a notice of the filing of a statement of the grounds of the decision was subsequently sent to that party under Rule 42(4), within 14 days after the date on which that notice was sent.
Subregulation 2
The decision of the Registrar is deemed to be given on the date on which the decision is filed, but unless the Registrar or the Judge otherwise directs, the decision must not be acted upon until the time has elapsed for filing the summons referred to in paragraph (1).
Subregulation 3
A direction must not be given under paragraph (2) without the parties being given an opportunity of being heard, but may, if the Registrar announces the Registrar’s intended decision at the conclusion of the hearing of the reference, be incorporated in the Registrar’s decision as reduced to writing under Rule 42(4).
