Towns Improvement Clauses Act 1847

CLXXIV Rates maybe amended.

The Commissioners may from Time to Time amend any Rate made by virtue of this or the special Act by inserting therein the Name of any Person claiming and entitled to have his Name therein as Owner or Occupier, or by inserting therein the Name of any Person who ought to have been rated, or by striking out the Name of any Person who ought not to have been rated, or by raising or reducing the Sum at which any Person has been rated, if it appear to them that such Person has been under-rated or over-rated, or by making such other Amendments therein as will make such Rate conformable to this and the special Act, and no such Amendment shall be held to avoid the Rate: Provided always, that every Person aggrieved by any such Alteration shall have the same Right of Appeal therefrom as he would have had if his Name had been originally inserted in such Rate, and no such Alteration had been made; and as respects such Person the Rates shall be considered to have been made at the Time when he received Notice of such Alteration; and every Person whose Rates are altered shall be entitled to Seven Days Notice of such Alteration before the Rate shall be payable by him.
