Commentary Section 1: Amendment of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993
7.The effect of this section is to restrict the provision in section 99(5)(a) of the 1993 Act so that it applies only in respect of premises in Wales.  Notices served under section 13 or section 42 of the 1993 Act, in respect of premises in England, will therefore no longer be subject to the requirement for the notice to be signed personally by the leaseholder.  The effect of the amendment is that notices under section 13 and section 42 of the 1993 Act served in respect of premises in England will now fall within section 99(5)(b) of the 1993 Act and may therefore be treated in the same way as all other notices given under Chapter 1 or 2 of Part 1 of the 1993 Act, where a notice may be signed by or on behalf of the leaseholder.
