Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Under Part I of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (“the 1993 Act”), leasehold valuation tribunals have jurisdiction to determine the terms of acquisition of interests (whether by enfranchisement under Chapter I or by the grant of a new lease under Chapter II) where these are in dispute, and to approve estate management schemes under Chapter IV. Section 91 of the Act provides that this jurisdiction, and additional jurisdiction to determine certain related matters, is to be exercised by rent assessment committees acting as leasehold valuation tribunals. These Regulations prescribe the procedure to be followed by leasehold valuation tribunals when dealing with matters arising under the provisions of the 1993 Act, as well as under the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 and the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987. They also prescribe the particulars to be included in applications to leasehold valuation tribunals under those Acts. Regulation 16 revokes the Rent Assessment Committee (England and Wales) (Leasehold Valuation Tribunal) Regulations 1981 (which prescribed the procedure to be followed by rent assessment committees when constituted as leasehold valuation tribunals, and forms of application). Regulation 15 makes consequential amendments to the regulations mentioned in that Regulation.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
