(a) Procedures for reinstatement of a lawyer suspended because of personal incapacity to practice law shall be, insofar as applicable, the same as the procedures for reinstatement provided in Rule 11 following suspension upon disciplinary grounds. The petition shall be filed with the Clerk of the Supreme Court and the petitioner will be required to supply such supporting proof of personal capacity as may be necessary. In addition, the petitioner may be required to submit to examinations by physicians selected by the Professional Responsibility Tribunal. After the matter is submitted to the Professional Responsibility Tribunal, the Trial Panel may require such additional testimony and proof as may be helpful in determining whether the petitioner should be reinstated.
(b) After the hearing has been completed, the record and the report shall be forwarded to the Supreme Court for its consideration as a part of the record in the proceeding.
(c) The actual cost of the proceedings for suspension and for reinstatement shall be assessed against the respondent or petitioner unless remitted by the Supreme Court on the ground of hardship.
