I179Consultation with advisory committee
1
The chancellor of a diocese must seek the advice of the advisory committee before making a final determination in proceedings for obtaining a faculty, issuing a permanent injunction under section 71 or making a restoration order unless—
a
the action proposed relates exclusively to exhumation or the reservation of a grave space, or
b
the chancellor is satisfied that the matter is sufficiently urgent to justify granting a faculty, issuing an injunction or making a restoration order without obtaining the committee's advice.
2
An archdeacon must seek the advice of the advisory committee before making a final determination in proceedings for obtaining a faculty, unless the action proposed relates exclusively to exhumation or the reservation of a grave space.
3
In each diocese, the secretary to the advisory committee—
a
must compile and maintain a register of all petitions for a faculty referred to the committee for advice under this section, and
b
must ensure that the register is available for inspection by the public by prior appointment at such place in the diocese as the bishop of the diocese may designate.
4
Rules may specify further circumstances in which, or further matters in respect of which, the duty imposed on a chancellor by subsection (1) does not apply.
