124 Rehearing
(1) The Minister may, in any case where a formal investigation has
been held under this Part, order the case to be reheard, either
generally or as to a part thereof, and must do so:
(a) if new and important evidence is discovered which could not
be produced at the formal investigation; or
(b) if for any other reason there is, in the Minister's opinion,
reason for suspecting that a miscarriage of justice has
occurred.
(2) A rehearing under this section may be either by the person
appointed to hold the formal investigation in the first instance, or by
such other person qualified under section 118(4) as is appointed by
the Minister.
(3) Any rehearing under this section is taken to be a formal
investigation under this Part, and the provisions of this Part
applicable to formal investigations apply.
