This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

(1)This section applies where—

(a)a lease is extinguished by virtue of section 7(3)(d) or 9(3)(f), and

(b)the consent of the holder of that lease was not among the consents required by section 3 in respect of the application under section 2 for the land to become commonhold land.
