After an interval of at least three years has elapsed since a final decision to strike a doctor, dental surgeon or midwife from the roll, the latter may be relieved of the resulting incapacity by a decision of the disciplinary chamber which ruled on the case at first instance. The request is made by a petition addressed to the president of the competent chamber.
Where the application has been rejected by a decision that has become final, it may not be made again until three years have elapsed since the first application was registered with the disciplinary chamber of first instance.
