The amendments made by regulations 3, 4(b), 7 and 8(c) are consequential on the commencement of section 168 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act. Section 168 of the 2002 Act prevents a landlord from serving a notice to forfeit a lease for breach by a tenant of a covenant or condition in the lease, unless the tenant admits the breach or it has been finally determined that the breach has occurred. Under section 168(4), a landlord may apply to a leasehold valuation tribunal for a determination that a breach of covenant or condition has occurred. The effect of the amendments made by regulations 3, 4(b), 7 and 8(c) is to add applications under section 168(4) of the 2002 Act to the applications to which the Procedure Regulations apply, and to require the applicant to include with the application a statement giving particulars of the alleged breach of covenant or condition and a copy of the lease concerned. Other amendments also concern applications to the Tribunal and some procedural requirement during hearings.
