(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of these Rules, the Court may at any stage of any proceedings either on the application of any party to the proceedings or of its own motion direct that the proceedings be stayed for such period as the Court thinks fit to enable the parties to try to settle the proceedings by alternative dispute resolution.
(3) The Court may extend any stay which it has granted under paragraph (2) of this Rule until such date or for such specified period as it considers appropriate.
(4) As a condition of granting a stay under this Rule the Court may require the parties to report back on progress made to settle the proceedings or if a settlement is reached.
(5) If the Court is not told by the end of the period of the stay that a settlement has been reached the Court may give such directions as to the management of the case as it considers appropriate.]
