Commentary on Sections

Part 7 – Statutory Nuisances

Section 68 – Expenses recoverable from owner to be a charge on premises

This section enables district councils, in certain circumstances, to charge premises with expenses reasonably incurred in abating a statutory nuisance. The section also provides that the expenses and interest are a charge on the property until they are paid off and makes provision for appeal to the county court against the notice making the expenses a charge.
