16(1)Sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) apply where at any time (“the relevant time”) during which a special measures order relating to a higher-risk building is in force, an accountable person for the building (“the outgoing person”) ceases to be responsible for all or any part of the building (“the relevant part of the building”).
(2)From the relevant time the special measures order ceases to apply to the outgoing person in relation to the relevant part of the building.
(3)From the relevant time the special measures order applies to any person who, immediately after the relevant time—
(a)is an accountable person for the building, and
(b)is responsible for the relevant part of the building or any part of the relevant part,
as it applied to the outgoing person in relation to the relevant part or part of the relevant part (as the case may be) immediately before the relevant time.
(4)But sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) do not affect any liability under the order to which the outgoing person became subject before the relevant time.
(5)Where an enactment requires interests, charges or other obligations affecting land to be registered, sub-paragraph (3) has effect whether or not the special measures order is registered.
(6)Nothing in this paragraph affects the powers of the tribunal under paragraph 14 (power to vary special measures order etc).
