Judge may empower owner to execute works in default of another owner
Cap. 182, s. 25 · Revised Edition 2020
(1) If it appears to a judge on the written application of any owner of a house in respect of which a notice requiring the execution of works has been served, or a demolition order has been made, that owing to the default of any other owner of the house in executing any works required to be executed on the house, or in demolishing the house, the interests of the applicant will be prejudiced, the judge may make an order empowering the applicant forthwith to enter on the house, and,
within a period fixed by the order, execute the works or demolish the house, as the case may be, and where it seems to the judge just to do so, he may make a like order in favour of any other owner.
(2) Before an order is made under this section, notice of the application shall be given to the Central Authority, and to any other owner who may be affected by the order.
(3) Proceedings under this section shall be determined by the judge in a summary manner, and any order made by him shall be final.
