S.L. 458.7 Art. 7Defective notice.

(1) Where before the hearing of an inquiry it appears to the

Chairman, or at any stage of the hearing it appears to the Board that a notice of inquiry is defective, the Chairman or the Board, as the case may be, shall give directions for the amendment of the notice as he or it may think necessary unless, having regard to the merits of the case, the required amendments cannot be made without injustice.

(2) Where in the opinion of the Chairman or of the Board it is expedient, in consequence of the exercise by him or it of the powers conferred by sub-rule (1), that the inquiry should be postponed or adjourned, the Chairman or the Board, as the case may be, shall give such directions in that behalf as appear necessary.
