Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):
(1)A vesting order under section 50(1) is an order providing for the surrender of the tenant’s lease of his flat and for the granting to him of a new lease of it on such terms as may be determined by [F1the appropriate tribunal] to be appropriate with a view to the lease being granted to him in like manner (so far as the circumstances permit) as if he had, at the date of his application, given notice under section 42 of his claim to exercise the right to acquire a new lease of his flat.
(2)If [F2the appropriate tribunal] so determines in the case of a vesting order under section 50(1), the order shall have effect in relation to property which is less extensive than that specified in the application on which the order was made.
(3)Where any lease is to be granted to a tenant by virtue of a vesting order under section 50(1), then on his paying into court the appropriate sum there shall be executed by such person as the court may designate a lease which—
(a)is in a form approved by [F3the appropriate tribunal], and
(b)contains such provisions as may be so approved for the purpose of giving effect so far as possible to section 56(1) and section 57 (as that section applies in accordance with subsections (7) and (8) below);
and that lease shall be effective to vest in the person to whom it is granted the property expressed to be demised by it, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the lease.
(4)In connection with the determination by [F4the appropriate tribunal] of any question as to the property to be demised by any such lease, or as to the rights with or subject to which it is to be demised, it shall be assumed (unless the contrary is shown) that the landlord has no interest in property other than the property to be demised and, for the purpose of excepting them from the lease, any minerals underlying that property.
(5)The appropriate sum to be paid into court in accordance with subsection (3) is the aggregate of—
(a)such amount as may be determined by [F5the appropriate tribunal] to be the premium which is payable under Schedule 13 in respect of the grant of the new lease;
(b)such other amount or amounts (if any) as may be determined by such a tribunal to be payable by virtue of that Schedule in connection with the grant of that lease; and
(c)any amounts or estimated amounts determined by such a tribunal as being, at the time of execution of that lease, due to the landlord from the tenant (whether due under or in respect of the tenant’s lease of his flat or under or in respect of any agreement collateral thereto).
(6)Where any lease is granted to a person in accordance with this section, the payment into court of the appropriate sum shall be taken to have satisfied any claims against the tenant, his personal representatives or assigns in respect of the premium and any other amounts payable as mentioned in subsection (5)(a) and (b).
(7)Subject to subsection (8), the following provisions, namely—
(a)sections 57 to 59, and
(b)section 61 and Schedule 14,
shall, so far as capable of applying to a lease granted in accordance with this section, apply to such a lease as they apply to a lease granted under section 56; and subsections (6) and (7) of that section shall apply in relation to a lease granted in accordance with this section as they apply in relation to a lease granted under that section.
(8)In its application to a lease granted in accordance with this section—
(a)section 57 shall have effect as if—
(i)any reference to the relevant date were a reference to the date of the application under section 50(1) in pursuance of which the vesting order under that provision was made, and
(ii)in subsection (5) the reference to section 56(3)(a) were a reference to subsection (5)(c) above; and
(b)section 58 shall have effect as if—
(i)in subsection (3) the second reference to the landlord were a reference to the person designated under subsection (3) above, and
(ii)subsections (6)(a) and (7) were omitted.
