Whenever it shall be found that the decision of a matter on appeal is likely to turn exclusively on a question of law, the parties, with the sanction of the Registrar of the Privy Council, may submit such question of law to the Judicial Committee in the form of a special case, and print such parts only of the record as may be necessary for the discussion of the same: Provided that nothing herein contained shall in any way prevent the Judicial Committee from ordering the full discussion of the whole case, if they shall so think fit, and that, in order to promote such arrangements and simplification of the matter in dispute, the said Registrar may call the parties before him, and having heard them, and examined the record, may report to the Judicial Committee as to the nature of the proceedings.
