Cancellation of hearing

19.—(1) Where after a complaint has been referred to the Committee for consideration it appears to the Committee that such consideration cannot due to exceptional circumstances properly take place, it may, after taking advice from the legal assessor and after consulting the Investigating Committee and obtaining the consent of the osteopath concerned, direct that a hearing should not be held and that the case should be concluded, provided that where there is an individual complainant the Committee shall, before it consults the Investigating Committee, endeavour to ascertain the views of the complainant.

(2) The Committee shall not be required to obtain the consent of the osteopath under paragraph (1) above where such consent could not properly be obtained due to death, mental or physical incapacity.

(3) As soon as any decision is reached as to cancellation of a hearing, the Committee shall send notice of that decision to the osteopath and to the complainant if any.
