184<br />
Landlord and <strong>Tenant</strong> (<strong>Termination</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tenancies</strong>) Bill<br />
(1) If the court makes a remedial order, the order must specify the day on or be<strong>for</strong>e<br />
which the tenant is to complete the specified action.<br />
(2) If the court, on an application by the landlord, is satisfied that the tenant will<br />
not have completed the specified action be<strong>for</strong>e the end <strong>of</strong> the specified day, the<br />
court may order that section 9 is to apply in relation to the termination claim.<br />
(3) Unless an order under subsection (2) has effect, the proceedings on the<br />
termination claim are stayed until the end <strong>of</strong> the period <strong>of</strong> three months<br />
beginning with the day after the specified day.<br />
(4) If the court, on an application by the landlord, is satisfied that the tenant did<br />
not complete the specified action be<strong>for</strong>e the end <strong>of</strong> the specified day, the court<br />
may lift the stay and order that section 9 is to apply in relation to the<br />
termination claim.<br />
(5) The proceedings on the termination claim (except in relation to costs) come to<br />
an end if—<br />
(a) the court dismisses an application <strong>for</strong> the stay to be lifted, or<br />
(b) at the end <strong>of</strong> the period <strong>of</strong> the stay, the landlord has not applied <strong>for</strong> it<br />
to be lifted.<br />
(6) Where an order under this section provides that section 9 is to apply in relation<br />
to a termination claim, that section applies in relation to the claim accordingly.<br />
14 Order <strong>for</strong> sale<br />
(1) If the court makes an order <strong>for</strong> sale, it must appoint a receiver to conduct the<br />
sale.<br />
(2) Civil Procedure Rules apply to a receiver appointed under this section as they<br />
apply to a receiver appointed in accordance with those Rules.<br />

(a) first, any costs properly incurred by the receiver in conducting the sale,<br />

with the tenancy (together with interest on that sum), and<br />
(c) thirdly, any sum secured by a qualifying interest in the tenancy.<br />
(4) The remainder (if any) <strong>of</strong> the proceeds after their application in accordance<br />
with subsection (3) is to be paid to the person who was the tenant immediately<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e completion <strong>of</strong> the sale.<br />
(5) But if the court does not think it just and equitable to apply the proceeds <strong>of</strong> the<br />
sale in accordance with subsections (3) and (4), it may order that the proceeds<br />
are to be applied otherwise than in accordance with those subsections.<br />
(6) The reference in subsection (3) to a sum owed by the tenant to the landlord<br />
includes any costs which the landlord is entitled to recover from the tenant—<br />
