This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)A person who is given a claim notice by a RTM company under section 79(6) may give a notice (referred to in this Chapter as a “counter-notice”) to the company no later than the date specified in the claim notice under section 80(6).
(2)A counter-notice is a notice containing a statement either—
(a)admitting that the RTM company was on the relevant date entitled to acquire the right to manage the premises specified in the claim notice, or
(b)alleging that, by reason of a specified provision of this Chapter, the RTM company was on that date not so entitled,
and containing such other particulars (if any) as may be required to be contained in counter-notices, and complying with such requirements (if any) about the form of counter-notices, as may be prescribed by regulations made by the appropriate national authority.
(3)Where the RTM company has been given one or more counter-notices containing a statement such as is mentioned in subsection (2)(b), the company may apply to a leasehold valuation tribunal for a determination that it was on the relevant date entitled to acquire the right to manage the premises.
(4)An application under subsection (3) must be made not later than the end of the period of two months beginning with the day on which the counter-notice (or, where more than one, the last of the counter-notices) was given.
(5)Where the RTM company has been given one or more counter-notices containing a statement such as is mentioned in subsection (2)(b), the RTM company does not acquire the right to manage the premises unless—
(a)on an application under subsection (3) it is finally determined that the company was on the relevant date entitled to acquire the right to manage the premises, or
(b)the person by whom the counter-notice was given agrees, or the persons by whom the counter-notices were given agree, in writing that the company was so entitled.
(6)If on an application under subsection (3) it is finally determined that the company was not on the relevant date entitled to acquire the right to manage the premises, the claim notice ceases to have effect.
(7)A determination on an application under subsection (3) becomes final—
(a)if not appealed against, at the end of the period for bringing an appeal, or
(b)if appealed against, at the time when the appeal (or any further appeal) is disposed of.
(8)An appeal is disposed of—
(a)if it is determined and the period for bringing any further appeal has ended, or
(b)if it is abandoned or otherwise ceases to have effect.
