Housing and Regeneration Act 2008

Section 147 - Further moratorium

392.This section broadly replicates the effect of sections 43(7) and (8) of the 1996 Act.

393.Subsection (1) of the section defines when the provisions of this section apply. It applies if a moratorium ends other than by cancellation by the regulator under section 146(5), and a further step specified in section 145 is taken in relation to the same registered provider within 3 years from the end of that moratorium.

394.Subsection (2) provides that a further step of this kind does not automatically trigger a further moratorium.

395.Subsection (3) allows the regulator to impose a further moratorium for a specified period but only if all of the registered provider’s secured creditors whom the regulator is able to locate after making reasonable enquiries consent to that further moratorium.

396.Subsection (4) requires the regulator to notify the registered provider, and any liquidator, administrator, administrative receiver, receiver appointed in respect of the registered provider or its land, and the HCA if it imposes a further moratorium under subsection (3).

397.Subsection (5) provides that the provisions in sections 144 to 159 apply to a further moratorium imposed by the regulator under this section as they would to a first moratorium, except for section 146(2).

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
