Upon being notified that a referee declines or fails to serve, or in the case of the death, resignation or removal of a referee, or if a new trial is granted after a reference, on motion of any party or on its own initiative, the court may designate a successor referee, unless a stipulation upon which the order of reference is based expressly provides otherwise.
If a referee declines, fails to serve, dies, resigns, or is removed, or a new trial is granted after a reference, the court may name a successor referee — on a party's motion or on its own — unless the stipulation behind the reference expressly says otherwise.
