The Faculty Jurisdiction Rules 2013

Steps to be taken on expiry of licence for temporary minor re-ordering

7.15.—(1) On the expiry of the period specified in a licence given under rule 7.14(1)—

(a)the archdeacon must send the minister a copy of Form 9 (which asks the minister to state whether a faculty has been applied for in respect of the scheme of temporary minor re-ordering and, if not, whether the position has been restored to that which existed before the scheme was implemented); and

(b)the minister must complete Form 9 and return it to the archdeacon within 14 days of receiving it.

(2) If on the expiry of the period specified in the licence the parish does not have a minister, paragraph (1) is to apply as if the references to the minister were references to the churchwardens of the parish.

(3) Save to the extent that it has been authorised by faculty, when a scheme of temporary minor re-ordering ceases to be authorised under rule 7.14 the archdeacon must take steps to ensure that the position is restored to that which existed before the scheme was implemented.
