• (b) the share cannot be recovered for some other reason such as that—

• (i) the estate of that owner has been sequestrated, or

• (ii) that owner cannot, by reasonable inquiry, be identified or found,

then (unless that share has been paid by the local authority under section 4A) that share must be paid by the other owners who are liable for a share of the same costs (the share being divided equally among the flats of those other owners), but where paragraph (b) applies that owner is liable to each of those other owners for the amount paid by each of them.

Notes for completion

4A

• (1) The local authority for the area in which a tenement is situated may pay a sum representing an owner's share of scheme costs if that owner—

• (a) is unable or unwilling to do so, or

• (b) cannot, by reasonable inquiry, be identified or found.

• (2) But a local authority may not pay a sum representing an owner's share of scheme costs which are attributable to a scheme decision mentioned in rule 3.1(e) of the Tenement Management Scheme.

• (3) For the purposes of this section an owner's share of any scheme costs is to be determined in accordance with—

• (a) the Tenement Management Scheme as it applies to the owner's tenement, or

• (b) where a tenement burden provides that the entire liability for those scheme costs (in so far as liability for those costs is not to be met by someone other than an owner) is to be met by one or more of the owners, that burden.

• (4) Before making a payment under this section, the local authority must give notice to the owner who has failed to pay a share of any scheme costs.

• (5) The local authority may recover from the owner who failed to pay a share of any scheme costs any—

• (a) payments made under this section, and

• (b) administrative expenses incurred by it in connection with the making of the payment.
