Section 128 — Housing Act 2004: Compensation payable to third parties

Compensation payable to third parties 128 1 If a third party requests them to do so at any time, the local housing authority must consider whether an amount by way of compensation should be paid to him in respect of any interference with his rights in consequence of an interim or final management order.

2 The authority must notify the third party of their decision as soon as practicable.

3 Where the local housing authority decide under subsection (1) that compensation ought to be paid to a third party in consequence of a final management order, they must vary the management scheme contained in the order so as to specify the amount of the compensation to be paid and to make provision as to its payment.
