2.50—(1) In the following cases an application for a decree nisi to be made absolute shall be made to a judge, that is to say—
(a)where the Queen’s Proctor gives to the court and to the party in whose favour the decree was pronounced a notice that he requires more time to decide whether to show cause against the decree being made absolute and the notice has not been withdrawn, or
(b)where there are other circumstances which ought to be brought to the attention of the court before the decree nisi is made absolute.
Unless otherwise directed, the summons by which the application is made (or, where the cause is pending in a divorce county court, notice of the application) shall be served on every party to the cause (other than the applicant) and, in a case to which sub-paragraph (a) applies, on the Queens Proctor.
(2) An application by a spouse for a decree nisi pronounced against him to be made absolute may be made to a judge or the district judge, and the summons by which the application is made (or, where the cause is pending in a divorce county court, notice of the application) shall be served on the other spouse not less than four clear days before the day on which the application is heard.
(3) An order granting an application under this rule shall not take effect until the district judge has caused the records of the court to be searched and is satisfied as to the matters mentioned in rule 2.49(2).
