3.3.1.6 Further Directions

Date Published

Where any direction has been given, the Commissioner retains the power to make further directions.  For instance, where an opposition is stayed due to a pending amendment, the Commissioner will monitor the progress of the amendment to ensure that the stay does not unnecessarily prolong the opposition.  Where appropriate, the stay can be lifted.
