49A .         Reopening of decision of review committee

        (1)         The Commission may, if the circumstances under which the decision of a review committee was made have since changed in a material respect or if material information which was not before a review committee when it made a decision is available or if the Commission considers that there is any other special reason why the decision of a review committee should not be allowed to stand, set aside the decision of the review committee and remit the matter to which that decision relates to a review committee for decision afresh.

        (2)         If a matter has been remitted under subsection (1) to a review committee for decision afresh, the review committee shall decide the matter afresh and in so doing — 

            (a)         may confirm, vary or reverse the decision set aside under that subsection; and

            (b)         shall, in the manner prescribed in section 47(2), communicate its fresh decision to the person by whom the relevant application under section 49(1) was made.

        (3)         A decision made under subsection (2) is final and conclusive.
