Significant Reason Required for Further Deliberation
Summary
It rules that the additional extension of the period for deliberation should not be granted except for a significant reason.
Notes
- §28.8.4.prhoc — A neuter singular demonstrative pronoun in the nominative case, referring back to the action of granting the period for deliberation multiple times (or additionally) as described in the preceding chunk (28.8.3.pr).
- §28.8.4.primpetrari non debet — impetrari is the present passive infinitive of the transitive verb impetrare (to obtain by request, to procure). It is not an impersonal construction, but a passive construction with hoc as its subject, meaning "it ought not to be obtained.’
