This section deals with the time when an interim management order comes into force or ceases to have effect.

The order ceases to have effect at the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the date on which it is made, unless it ceases to have effect at some other time as mentioned below.

5

If the order provides that it is to cease to have effect on a date falling before the end of that period, it accordingly ceases to have effect on that date.

If the order is made under section 102(3)—

a

it must include a provision for determining the date on which it will cease to have effect, and

b

it accordingly ceases to have effect on the date so determined.

That date must be no later than 12 months after the date on which the order comes into force.

b

the FMO has not come into force because of an appeal to F1the appropriate tribunal under paragraph 24 of Schedule 6 against the making of the FMO.

the date on which—

the FMO,

any licence under Part 2 or 3, or

the IMO was made under section 102(7A), and

the date on which the FMO or another interim management order comes into force in relation to the house (or part of it) following the disposal of the appeal is later than the date on which the IMO would cease to have effect apart from this subsection,

the IMO continues in force until that later date.
