- (b) in the case of a relevant building that is not a higher-risk building, the person would be an accountable person for the building if section 72 were read as applying to such a building (and as if the reference in that section to a residential unit were a reference to a dwelling).
- (3) The insolvency practitioner must give the information in subsection (6) (“the required information”) to—
- (a) the local authority for the area in which the building for which the person is a responsible person is situated, or (if applicable) each local authority in whose area a building for which the person is a responsible person is situated, and
- (b) the fire and rescue authority for the area in which the building for which the person is a responsible person is situated, or (if applicable) each fire and rescue authority in whose area a building for which the person is a responsible person is situated.
- (4) If the insolvency practitioner is appointed in relation to an accountable person for a higher-risk building, the practitioner must also give the required information to the regulator.
- (5) The required information must be provided within the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the insolvency practitioner is appointed.
- (6) The information is as follows—
- (a) the name and address of the person in relation to whom the insolvency practitioner is appointed;
- (b) the address of each higher-risk building or relevant building for which the person is a responsible person (but see subsection (7));
- (c) an official copy of the register of title and title plan relating to each registered estate or interest the person holds in such a building, if any (but see subsection (7));
- (d) the nature of the practitioner’s appointment;
