For this purpose a tenant is “affected by” a certificate if, by virtue of section 1(1C), the tenant does not have the right to acquire the freehold because the certificate is issued in respect of their landlord.

(ii)if the costs are incurred as a result of the claim being suspended because of an application for a certificate under this section;

(d)enforcement by the appropriate tribunal of any of the requirements of the regulations;

(i)the person in respect of which the certificate is issued does not fall within subsection (2)(a) or (b), or

(ii)the certificate was obtained by deception or fraud.

For this purpose a leaseholder is “affected by” a certificate if, by virtue of section 5(2)(aa), the leaseholder is not a qualifying tenant because the certificate is issued in respect of their immediate landlord.
