    (1)     Rules under section 157 may include rules for or with respect to the functions of the Tribunal that may be performed by the Tribunal constituted by the principal registrar.

    (2)     Rules referred to in subsection (1) cannot provide for the Tribunal constituted by the principal registrar to make any orders finally disposing of a proceeding, other than orders made with the consent of all parties to the proceeding.

    (3)     To avoid doubt, a reference in subsection (2) to orders finally disposing of a proceeding does not include any orders striking out a proceeding in circumstances where a party has a right to have, or to apply to have, the proceeding or part of it reinstated.

    (4)     In making rules referred to in subsection (1), the Rules Committee must consider whether the function is of a kind that ought to be performed by the Tribunal constituted by one or more members rather than the principal registrar.

    (5)     Rules referred to in subsection (1)—

        (a)     must specify whether the principal registrar may delegate the function under section 32A; and

        (b)     may specify the person or class of person to whom the function may be delegated under that section.
