This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)A person aggrieved by a deferred action notice may within 21 days after the service of the notice appeal to the county court.
(2)Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), it is a ground of appeal that serving a notice under section 189 of the Housing Act 1985, or making a closing order under section 264 of that Act or a demolition order under section 265 of that Act, is a more satisfactory course of action.
(3)Where the grounds on which an appeal is brought are or include that specified in subsection (2), the court, on the hearing of the appeal, shall have regard to any guidance given to the local housing authority under section 604A of the [1985 c. 68.] Housing Act 1985 or section 85 of this Act.
(4)On an appeal the court may make such order either confirming, quashing or varying the notice as it thinks fit.
(5)Where the appeal is allowed and the reason or one of the reasons for allowing the appeal is that serving a notice under section 189 of that Act or making a closing order under section 264 of that Act or a demolition order under section 265 of that Act is a more satisfactory course of action, the judge shall, if requested to do so by the appellant or the local housing authority, include in his judgment a finding to that effect.
(6)If an appeal is brought, the deferred action notice does not become operative until—
(a)a decision on the appeal confirming the notice (with or without variation) is given and the period within which an appeal to the Court of Appeal may be brought expires without any such appeal having been brought, or
(b)if a further appeal to the Court of Appeal is brought, a decision on that appeal is given confirming the notice (with or without variation);
and for this purpose the withdrawal of an appeal has the same effect as a decision confirming the notice or decision appealed against.
