Explanatory note

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Section 16(13) of the Building Act 1984 sets out an alternative version of section 16(10) which applies until such day as the Secretary of State appoints. Article 2 of the order appoints 11th November 1985. The effect is to terminate the jurisdiction of the magistrates courts to resolve disagreements with a local authority as to whether plans or proposed work comply with building regulations and to give a comparable jurisdiction to the Secretary of State.

Article 3 repeals section 30 of the Building Act 1984 which provides for persons carrying out work and local authorities jointly to refer disagreements about plans or work to the Secretary of State.
