(2) Where this regulation applies, each landlord under any lease in the building is liable to pay L a share of the remediation amount and that share is to be calculated in accordance with paragraphs (4) to (6).
(3) The amount referred to in paragraph (2) may not include any amount which L is entitled to recover under regulations 3 or 4 [F1but nothing in this regulation prevents L from seeking to recover amounts under Regulation 3 or 4].
(4) Where the landlord is a type 1 owner, the share of the remediation amount for each such landlord is—
where—
A = the remediation amount for the relevant measure paid (or liable to be paid) by L;
N1 = the total number of type 1 owners of the building;
N2 = the total number of type 2 owners of the building;
N3 = the total number of type 3 owners of the building.

(e)the possible grounds of appeal.]

(8C) In response to an application under paragraph (8A) the First-tier Tribunal may grant an extension of the time limit for lodging an appeal by no more than 30 days.]
(9) The grounds of appeal are—
(a)that the remediation amount does not represent the cost of the relevant measure;
(b)that the person is not a relevant landlord within the meaning of paragraph 12(2) of Schedule 8 to the Act; or
(c)that the share of the remediation amount determined for the landlord is incorrect.
[F5(9A) Where an appeal made on the grounds specified in paragraph (9)(a)—
(a)is unsuccessful, subject to the outcome of an appeal on another ground under this regulation, the person who was notified by L is required to pay the specified amount set out in the notice;

(a)is unsuccessful, subject to the outcome of an appeal on another ground under this regulation, the person who was notified by L is required to pay the specified amount set out in the notice;

(9C) Where an appeal made on the grounds specified in paragraph (9)(c)—
(a)is unsuccessful, subject to the outcome of an appeal on another ground under this regulation, the person who was notified by L is required to pay the specified amount set out in the notice;
