Regulation 8

Any application of an interlocutory nature in connection with any proceedings shall be made to the Board.

The application shall be made in writing and shall state the title of the proceedings and the grounds upon which the application is made.

If the application is made with the consent of any other party, it shall be accompanied by a notice of consent signed by or on behalf of such other party.

If the application is not made with the consent of any other party, then, before it is made, a copy thereof shall be served upon such other party and the application shall state that this has been done.

Any party who objects to the application may, within 14 days after receiving a copy thereof, send a written notice of objection to the Registrar and to the applicant, and before making any order on the application the Board shall consider any objection which it may have received and, if so required by any party, shall give all parties an opportunity of appearing before the Board.

In dealing with any application under this regulation, the Board shall have regard to the convenience of the parties and the desirability of limiting so far as practicable the costs of the proceedings and shall communicate its decision in writing to each party thereto.
