(a)where the Lord Chancellor, if he had been aware of all the circumstances, would have reduced the fee under rule 6, the amount by which the fee would have been reduced shall be refunded; or

(3) The Lord Chancellor may extend the period of 6 months referred to in paragraph (2) if he considers that there is good reason for an application being made after the end of the period of 6 months, and he may do so notwithstanding that the period has expired.”
