B. Setting Aside the Judgement of the Local Meeting

If it is found that the offense has not been correctly adjudged, or that the charge has not been sufficiently sustained, or that by any irregularity in the proceedings the rights of the appellant have been infringed, the Board sets aside the judgement of the local meeting. The ground of the decision is entered upon its minutes, and the local meeting affected is informed thereof. If the ground be one of irregularity in the procedure only, the local meeting is at liberty to take up the case again by regular action.
