Grrr CatIII Ops

Hypothetical scenario:
A320 on the ILS (CATTIII DUAL) and suffer an engine failure or system reverts to CATIII Sıngle below 1000' AGL but above Alert Height. Go around is initiated and a second approach is conducted.
Q. would the second approach :
1.revert to a category with a higher minima i.e catII
2. or would it be legal to conducted the approach ( single engine config) CATIII minima and land.

reading the a few articles from airbus and JAR-AWO there doesn’t seem to be any direct answer from my understanding of the documents. everything is a shade of gray.
Speaking to other people flying the machine (A320) provides as many gray and varied answers... some say full auto CATIII (CAT3 single) landing is legal but i cannot located a clear direct answer???



anyone can shed some light on the issue??????
