3.2 Duties 

The primary examiner will act on behalf of the examining division and will normally be responsible for issuing communications to the court. The primary examiner also drafts the written opinion and circulates the draft to the other members of the examining division for consideration. If any changes are proposed in the draft and there are differences of view on such changes, the chair arranges a meeting to resolve the matter. The final opinion is signed by all members of the division.
