102: Procedure

You could also call this:

"How an animal ethics committee makes its decisions and works"

When you are part of an animal ethics committee, you decide how the committee works. You make these decisions unless the Animal Welfare Act 1999 or its regulations say otherwise. The code of ethical conduct also has a say in how your committee works.
