Schedule 7: Special Measures Paragraph 4: Special measures order Effect
Paragraph 4 provides that the First-tier Tribunal may appoint a Special Measures Manager, for an occupied higher-risk building, further to an application made by the Building Safety Regulator.
	Paragraph 4(2) sets out that functions of all accountable persons will be conferred upon the appointed Special Measures Manager for the building i.e., the functions under Part 4 of the Act or regulations made under it.
	Paragraph 4(3) makes provision for the appointed Special Measures Manager to carry out any function as a receiver of the commonhold building safety assessments, to enable it to fund and carry out the functions which it has been given under the order for a commonhold building in special measures.
	Paragraph 4(4) sets out the grounds on which the First-tier Tribunal must be satisfied before making an order appointing a Special Measures Manager and also the grounds on which the Building Safety Regulator would use to apply for such an order.
	Paragraph 4(5) gives the First-tier Tribunal the powers to include in an order details of payments which need to be made by an Accountable Person to the Special Measures Manager in relation to relevant expenses incurred or due to be incurred by the manager for the building, with paragraph 4(6) setting out that this does not apply to commonhold buildings. This paragraph also provides that the tribunal may make provision in the order for any other matter relating to the exercise of the Special Measures Manager’s functions and any incidental/ancillary matters can be included by the Tribunal in the order.
	Paragraph 4(7) provides that a special measures order remains in place until it is discharged. This would be done by way of application to the First-tier Tribunal.
	Paragraph 4(8) sets out the definition of "commonhold building safety assessment" for Part 4 of the Act. It has the same meaning as in section 38A of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002.
