(2)The Archbishops’ Council may delegate those functions to another person.
(3)The Archbishops’ Council may delegate the functions of determining an application for redress and an award of redress under this Measure (but only those functions) to a panel constituted under the rules, whether or not other functions of the Archbishops’ Council are delegated to another person under subsection (2).
