Part III Cessation of Control Order

Revocation of control order on further appeal

20

1

If on an appeal from a decision of the county court confirming a control order it is determined that the control order should be revoked, but the local housing authority satisfy the court hearing the appeal—

a

that they are in the course of carrying out works in the house which, if a control order were not in force, they would have power to require some person to carry out under any provision of this Part of this Act or under any other enactment relating to housing or public health, and

b

that the carrying out of the works could not be postponed until the time when the control order could no longer be revoked by order of any court on an appeal against the order because the works were urgently required for the sake of safety, welfare or health of persons living in the house, or other persons,

the court may suspend the revocation of the control order until the works have been completed.

2

If on the hearing by the county court of an appeal against a control order the appellant indicates—

a

that an appeal may be brought against any decision of the county court confirming the order, and

b

that certain works ought not, unless the control order is confirmed on the further appeal, to be works the cost of which can be recovered by the local housing authority under paragraph 4 or 16,

the county court may direct that those works shall not be works of which the cost may be so recovered if they are begun before the time when the further appeal is finally determined and the control order is not confirmed on that appeal.
