(c) the Commission:-

(i) may if they think fit direct that an application be

the subject of an oral hearing and

(ii) shall not refuse a request for an oral hearing in respect of any application except by decision of not

less than two members of the Commission.

(2) Nothing in paragraph (1) of this Article shall be taken as limiting or restricting the power of the Commission to review any

determination in accordance with the Rules of the Commission.

14. -(1) An application under Part V of the Order may be made by

a trustee qualified under Article 16 or by a beneficiary so

qualified. An application by a trustee shall, however, be entertained by the Commission only in so far as the beneficial interest in the property or in the claim to which the application

relates was,

at the material time, owned by a British national.

(2) If application under Part V of the Order is made by a

trustee and by a beneficiary in relation to the same claim, and both

the trustee and the beneficiary are qualified under paragraph (1) of

this Article, the Commission may entertain the application made by

the trustee in preference to that made by the beneficiary, or entertain the application made by the beneficiary in preference to

that made by the trustee. The Commission shall dismiss the

application by the trustee or by the beneficiary, as the case may

be, which it has decided not to entertain.

15. The Commission shall report, in such manner as the Secretary of State may direct, upon any claims established under Part V of this Order and upon the amount of loss assessed with respect to

claims established thereunder.
