“(ab)where the court is satisfied—
(i)that unreasonable service charges have been made, or are proposed or likely to be made, and
(ii)that it is just and convenient to make the order in all the circumstances of the case;
(ac)where the court is satisfied—
(i)that the landlord has failed to comply with any relevant provision of a code of practice approved by the Secretary of State under section 87 of the M2Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (codes of management practice), and

“(9A)The court shall not vary or discharge an order under subsection (9) on a landlord’s application unless it is satisfied—
(a)that the variation or discharge of the order will not result in a recurrence of the circumstances which led to the order being made, and
(b)that it is just and convenient in all the circumstances of the case to vary or discharge the order.”.
