6.—(1) If the Board is informed that an applicant for compensation under the Act has died without the application being determined and without any person expressing an intention to proceed with the application in accordance with rule 5, the Board must make whatever enquiries it considers reasonable for contacting relatives of the deceased.
(2) If, at the end of the period of three months beginning with the day on which the Board begins enquiries under paragraph (1), no person has expressed an intention to proceed with the application in accordance with rule 5, the application is dismissed.
