(6) Y sail a grybwyllir ym mharagraff (1)(b) yw bod tystiolaeth newydd, na ellid bod wedi canfod ei bodolaeth drwy ymchwilio'n rhesymol ddiwyd, na'i rhagweld, wedi dod ar gael er pan gwblhawyd yr achos y mae'r penderfyniad yn ymwneud ag ef. (7) Os yw Panel Apêl yn gosod penderfyniad o'r neilltu yn unol â'r rheoliad hwn, rhaid iddo ddirymu unrhyw orchymyn a wnaed o ganlyniad i'r penderfyniad hwnnw a rhaid iddo orchymyn ail wrandawiad neu ailbenderfyniad gerbron naill ai'r un Panel Apêl neu Banel Apêl gwahanol.

(5) The grounds referred to in paragraph (1)(a) are (a) that the decision was wrongly made as a result of clerical error; (b) that a party did not appear and can show reasonable cause why that party did not do so; (c) that the decision is affected by a decision of, or a decision on appeal from, the High Court or the Upper Tribunal in relation to an appeal in respect of the dwelling which, or, as the case may be, the person who, was the subject of the Appeal Panel's decision; and (d) the interests of justice otherwise require such a review. (6) The ground mentioned in paragraph (1)(b) is that new evidence, the existence of which could not have been ascertained by reasonably diligent inquiry or could not have been foreseen, has become available since the conclusion of the proceedings to which the decision relates. (7) If an Appeal Panel sets aside a decision in pursuance of this regulation, it must revoke any order made in consequence of that decision and must order a re–hearing or redetermination before either the same or a different Appeal Panel.

Cymrodeddu 45.–(1) Ar unrhyw adeg cyn dechrau gwrandawiad neu ystyriaeth o sylwadau ysgrifenedig gan Banel Apêl, os cytunir felly mewn ysgrifen rhwng y personau a fyddai'n bartïon i'r apêl, pe deuai'r anghydfod yn destun apêl i'r Tribiwnlys Prisio, bydd y mater yn cael ei atgyfeirio ar gyfer cymrodeddu.
