196Power of court to authorise owner to execute works on default of another owner.
(1)If it appears to a magistrates' court, on the application of an owner of premises in respect of which a repair notice has been served, that owing to the default of another owner of the premises in executing works required to be executed, the interests of the applicant will be prejudiced, the court may make an order empowering the applicant forthwith to enter on the premises and execute the works within a period fixed by the order.
(2)Where the court makes such an order, the court may, where it seems to the court just to do so, make a like order in favour of any other owner.
