(1) The ART may, in relation to an application for ART review (other than a guidance and appeals panel application), request the Registrar to lodge with the ART the statement and other documents referred to in section 23 (decision - maker must give ART reasons and documents--general rule) of the ART Act before the end of the period that otherwise applies.
(2) If the ART does so, the Registrar must take reasonable steps to comply with the request.
(3) Nothing in this section prevents the operation of subsection 28(4) of the ART Act (which allows the ART to shorten the period for giving documents).
