Part 10: Letting by Local Authorities of Vacant High-street premises Powers to obtain information Section 213: Power to extend time limits Effect
This section allows a court to extend the time limits for the local authority to serve a final notice or to complete the procedure for letting in certain circumstances. This is where the local authority is impeded in the exercise of its functions under Part 10 due to a failure by a person to comply with a requirement to provide information about premises, or is obstructed in the exercise of its power to enter and survey land. The local authority would need to apply to the county court for such an extension.
