587.This paragraph provides that, if an accountable person for a building (to whose building safety functions a special measures order applies) ceases to be the accountable person then the order ceases to apply to that person. If an accountable person only ceases to be an accountable person for part of a building, then this only applies in respect of that part for which they are no longer responsible. Sub-paragraph (6) makes provision about such a person’s liability under the order before the “relevant time”. The order will apply to the accountable person’s successor (sub-paragraph (5), where criteria in sub-paragraph (4) are met).
