(ii)section 24A (3),
(iii)section 24C (1),
(iv)section 24F (2),

(b)the effective date stated in the order (“the actual effective date”) falls later than the originally proposed effective date, and
(c)the rent payable from the actual effective date (“the new rent”) is more than the rent payable immediately before that date (“the old rent”).
(2)For the purpose of subsection (1), “the originally proposed effective date” is—
(a)in the case of an order under section 24A(2) or (3) or section 24C(1), the date on which the rent would have been increased in accordance with section 24(2) had the referral to the rent officer not been made,
(b)in the case of an order under section 24F(2) or (3) or section 24G(3), the day after the expiry of the period of three months beginning with the day on which notice is given to the tenant under section 24E(3).
(3)On the date the order is made the tenant becomes liable under this subsection to pay the landlord the difference between––
(a)the amount that would have been payable in rent between the originally proposed effective date and the actual effective date had the new rent been the rent payable from the originally proposed effective date, and
(b)the amount that should have been paid in rent during the same period (whether or not it was actually paid).
(4)Subsection (5) applies if, at the end of the day falling 28 days after a tenant’s liability under subsection (3) arose, that liability is (in whole or in part) still outstanding.
(5)For the purpose of Grounds 11 and 12 in schedule 5, the liability mentioned in subsection (3) is to be regarded as a sum that fell to be paid by way of rent on the day the liability arose.
