SCHEDULE OF DISCIPLINARY PROVISIONS
a meeting, on the premises (or any facility forming part thereof) in which the Lodge meets or dines. 24. Where more than one authority has jurisdiction over a Brother by virtue of the provisions of Paragraph 23(b) the authority within whose jurisdiction he resides, or nearest to which he resides, shall primarily have jurisdiction and no other authority shall take any step towards assuming jurisdiction without first obtaining the consent of that authority. 25. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 23, where a Metropolitan, Provincial or District Grand Master or a Grand Inspector, having identified all the material circumstances, is of the view that those circumstances would lead a fair-minded and informed observer to conclude that there was a real possibility that a determination by him in accordance with those provisions would not be impartial, he shall refer the investigation (or further investigation) and determination of such case to another Metropolitan, Provincial or District Grand Master, nominated by the Board of General Purposes; provided that in a case arising in a District or Lodge under a Grand Inspector the Board may, in its discretion, nominate a Past District Grand Master (of that or another District) for such purpose. (b) Such other Masonic authority nominated by the Board shall proceed in all respects as if the complaint or irregularity were in respect of a Lodge or individual Mason within his own jurisdiction (or former jurisdiction). Any determination, order or report that he may make shall take effect as though it had been made by the referring Disciplinary Authority. 26. Where the Board of General Purposes is the Disciplinary Authority, in case of any charge or complaint affecting a member of the Board or a Lodge to which he belongs, such member shall withdraw while the Board considers its decision.
