11.(1) Where a decree of divorce has been granted but not made absolute, then,
without prejudice to Article 10, any person (excluding a party to the
proceedings other that the Crown Solicitor) may show cause why the decree
should not be made absolute by reason of material facts not having been
brought before the court; and in such a case the court may

(a)notwithstanding anything in Article 3(6) (but subject to Articles 12(2) to
(5) and 44) make the decree absolute; or

(b)rescind the decree; or

(c)require further inquiry; or

(d)otherwise deal with the case as it thinks fit.

(2) Where a decree of divorce has been granted and no application for it to be
made absolute has been made by the party to whom it was granted, then, at any
time after the expiration of three months from the earliest date on which that
party could have made such an application, the party against whom it was
granted may make an application to the court, and on that application the
court may exercise any of the powers mentioned in sub-paragraphs (a) to (d) of
paragraph (1).
