The power to make the rules for the purposes of this Measure is exercisable by the Rule Committee.

The rules may make whatever provision the Rule Committee thinks necessary or appropriate for carrying into effect a provision of this Measure.

The rules may make different provision for different cases.

The rules may provide for a person to exercise a discretion.

Section 83 of the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction and Care of Churches Measure 2018 (“the 2018 Measure”) applies to the rules as if they were rules under that section.

Where, before this Measure was passed, rules proposed to be made under this Measure were approved by the General Synod in accordance with its Standing Orders, rules made after the commencement of this section in a form substantially the same as the approved form are to be treated as having already been approved for the purposes of section 83(9) of the 2018 Measure.

The rules relating to the determination of an application for redress or an award of redress may refer to a document issued by the Archbishops’ Council designed to supplement those rules; but this subsection does not affect the generality of subsection (4).

Where there is an inconsistency between the rules and the document referred to in subsection (7), the rules prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
