19(1)The provisions of this paragraph have effect for the purpose of enabling the local housing authority to recover capital expenditure incurred in carrying out works in the house in the period before the control order is revoked on an appeal against the order.
(2)On the hearing of the appeal the authority may apply to the court for the approval of those works on the ground that—
(a)they were works which, if a control order had not been in force, the authority could have required some person to carry out under any provision of this Part or under any other enactment relating to housing or public health, and
(b)the works could not be postponed until after the determination of the appeal by the county court because they were urgently required for the sake of the safety, welfare or health of persons living in the house, or other persons.
(3)Expenditure reasonably incurred by the authority in carrying out works so approved—
(a)may be deducted by the authority out of the balances which they are liable to pay to the dispossessed proprietor under paragraph 18, and
(b)so far as not so deducted, is a charge on the premises and on all estates and interests in the premises;
and the premises subject to the charge include any part of the premises which was excluded from the provisions of the order under section 380 (modification of order where proprietor resides in part of the house).
(4)The charge takes effect as from the date when the control order is revoked and the expenditure so charged carries interest from that date at such reasonable rate as the authority may determine.
(5)The local housing authority have for the purposes of enforcing the charge all the same powers and remedies, under the M1Law of Property Act 1925 and otherwise, as if they were mortgagees by deed having powers of sale and lease, of accepting surrenders of leases and of appointing a receiver.
(6)The power of appointing a receiver is exercisable at any time after the expiration of one month from the date when the charge takes effect.
