7(1)Notwithstanding anything in section 40(2), any of the other landlords shall, at any time after the giving by the competent landlord of a counter-notice under section 45 and on giving notice to both the competent landlord and the tenant of his intention to be so represented, be entitled to be separately represented—
(a)in any legal proceedings in which his title to any property comes in question, or
(b)in any legal proceedings relating to the determination of any amount payable to him by virtue of Schedule 13.
(2)Any of the other landlords may also, on giving notice to the competent landlord and the tenant, require that any amount payable to him by virtue of Schedule 13 shall be paid by the tenant to him, or to a person authorised by him to receive it, instead of to the competent landlord; but if, after being given proper notice of the time and method of completion with the tenant, either—
(a)he fails to notify the competent landlord of the arrangements made with the tenant to receive payment, or
(b)having notified the competent landlord of those arrangements, the arrangements are not duly implemented,
the competent landlord shall be authorised to receive the payment for him, and the competent landlord’s written receipt for the amount payable shall be a complete discharge to the tenant.
