(3)The regulations may include provision about the procedure to be followed—
(a)where steps have been taken with a view to the holding of an inquiry or hearing which does not take place,
(b)where steps have been taken with a view to the determination of any matter by a person appointed by the Welsh Ministers and the proceedings are the subject of a direction that the matter must instead be determined by the Welsh Ministers, or
