Rule 14 of the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) Rules 2020 is about Re-hearing. It provides as follows:

(1) Any party who has failed to appear at the hearing and is not represented by a counsel, or who previously appeared but subsequently fails to appear and is not represented by a counsel at the hearing may within fourteen days from the date when the pronouncement of the findings and direction of the Disciplinary Committee are given and upon giving notice to every other party and to the Secretary, apply to the Disciplinary Committee for a re-hearing.

(2) The Disciplinary Committee, if satisfied that it is just that the matter should be re-heard, may grant the application upon such terms as to costs or otherwise as it deems fit.
