(1) The Governor may, in any case where a public inquiry has been held, direct
the inquiry to be reheard either generally or as to any part thereof and shall
do so-

   (a)  if after the completion of the inquiry new and important evidence has
        been discovered; or

   (b)  if for any other reason there is in his opinion ground for suspecting
        that a miscarriage of justice has occurred.

(2) If the Governor directs any inquiry to be reheard, he may direct that the
inquiry shall be reheard either by the commission by whom it was heard in the
first instance or by some other qualified persons appointed by him to hold the
rehearing.

(3) Any inquiry reheard shall be subject to and conducted in accordance with
the provisions of these regulations relating to the holding of public
inquiries. [cf. S.I. 1983/551 r. 19 U.K.]
