24 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.
