The Rent Assessment Committee (England and Wales) (Leasehold Valuation Tribunal) (Amendment) Regulations 1997
These Regulations amend the Rent Assessment Committee (England and Wales) (Leasehold Valuation Tribunal) Regulations 1993 which deal with the procedure of leasehold valuation tribunals. The amendments are in consequence of new jurisdiction conferred on leasehold valuation tribunals in amendments to the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 made by the Housing Act 1996. The Regulations also make consequential amendments to the Rent Assessment Committees (England and Wales) Regulations 1971. The new jurisdiction relates to determination of matters relating to:service charges under sections 19(2A) and (2B) and 20C of, and paragraph 8 of Schedule 8 to, the 1985 Act (including cases where the court transfers proceedings to a leasehold valuation tribunal); andappointment of managers under Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987.
