Referral of matters to Supreme Court

    (1)     The admissions board may refer to the Supreme Court an application under section 23 if, in the board's opinion, it would be appropriate for the court to consider the application having regard to the seriousness of matters disclosed by or found out about the applicant.

    (2)     The Supreme Court has the same powers as the admissions board to deal with the application and its decision on the application is taken to be a decision of the board.

    (3)     On a referral under this section, the Supreme Court may make the order or declaration that it considers appropriate.

    (4)     An order or declaration under subsection (3) is binding on the admissions board unless the applicant failed to make a full and fair disclosure of all matters relevant to the order or declaration.
