7.5. Point of Order

A Point of Order relates to the interpretation or enforcement of the Rules of Procedure or such articles of the Constitution that regulate the business of the House. It should raise a question that is within the cognizance of the presiding officer. A member can raise a point of order when the proceedings of the House do not follow the normal rules of procedure. It is an extraordinary device as it suspends the proceedings before the House. No debate is allowed on a Point of Order.
