(b)such consent cannot be given by reason of physical or mental disability, or
(c)the non-entitled partner cannot be found after reasonable steps have been taken to trace that partner.
[F2(1A)Subsection (1B) applies if, in relation to a proposed sale—
(a)negotiations with a third party have not begun, or
(b)negotiations have begun but a price has not been agreed.

(2)For the purposes of subsection (1)(a), a non-entitled partner has unreasonably withheld consent to a dealing which has taken place or a proposed dealing, where it appears to the court either—
(a)that the non-entitled partner—
(i)has led the entitled partner to believe that the non-entitled partner would consent to the dealing, and
(ii)would not be prejudiced by any change in the circumstances of the case since the conduct which gave rise to that belief occurred, or
(b)that the entitled partner has, having taken all reasonable steps to do so, been unable to obtain an answer to a request for consent.

(b)to comply with such other conditions relating to that partner's occupation of the family home as may be so specified.]
(4)Where—

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
