Section 96 — Housing and Planning Act 2016: Objectives of housing administration

Objectives of housing administration 96 1 A housing administrator has two objectives—

a Objective 1: normal administration (see section 97),

and b Objective 2: keeping social housing in the regulated sector (see section 98).

2 Objective 1 takes priority over Objective 2 (but the housing administrator must, so far as possible, work towards both objectives).

3 It follows that, in pursuing Objective 2, the housing administrator must not do anything that would result in a worse distribution to creditors than would be the case if the administrator did not need to pursue Objective 2.

4 A reference in this Chapter to the objectives of a housing administration is to the objectives to be pursued by the housing administrator.
