Schedule 7: Special Measures Paragraph 8: Special measures orders and orders under section 24 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 Effect
This paragraph gives a power to a First-tier Tribunal to amend an existing order to appoint a manager for a building made under section 24 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987. Section 24 gives certain tenants a right to apply for the appointment of a manager, in a number of circumstances, such as when the landlord has breached its obligations under the lease.
	In some buildings, where a Special Measures Manager is appointed, a section 24 order may already be in place. The paragraph prevents an overlap of the functions of the section 24 manager and the functions of the Special Measures Manager in the respective court orders. It gives precedence to any requirement on the Special Measures Manager to carry out a function pursuant to a special measures order, over a function of the section 24 manager.
	The First-tier Tribunal may amend the section 24 order to ensure that a manager appointed under section 24 is not required to perform functions that have been given to the Special Measures Manager (appointed under paragraph 5) in the same building.
