Re-imposition of duties where order is not confirmed

5(1)If the Minister notifies the local authority that he declines to confirm the order, or if the order as confirmed does not comprise any houses or other buildings which were comprised in the order as submitted to the Minister, the provisions of this paragraph shall have effect as regards the houses or other buildings in the unconfirmed order or, as the case may be, the houses or other buildings not comprised in the order as confirmed.

(2)The local authority shall fix the date by which the houses or other buildings are to be vacated for the purposes of demolition, and may fix different dates for different buildings ; and sections forty-four and forty-five of the principal Act shall apply as if that date had been fixed for those purposes by the clearance order.

(3)The local authority shall not less than twenty-eight days before the date (or the earliest date) fixed under the last foregoing sub-paragraph serve on the owner or owners of the houses or other buildings a notice giving them that date and informing them of their duty under subsection (3) of the said section forty-four as applied by this paragraph to demolish the houses or other buildings.
