The amendment made by regulation 4(a) has effect as regards applications to a leasehold valuation tribunal under section 20ZA(1) of the Landlord and Tenant 1985 Act to dispense with all or any of the consultation requirements relating to works and agreements for which contributions may be recovered by way of service charges. The effect of the amendment is to remove the requirement (imposed by regulation 3(3) of, and paragraph 2(3) of Schedule 2 to, the Procedure Regulations) to provide a copy of the lease when making an application under section 20ZA(1).`The amendment made by regulation 5 enables a leasehold valuation tribunal to determine an application without an oral hearing where it has given at least 28 days' notice to the applicant and the respondent and neither of them has asked for an oral hearing. The amendment made by regulation 6 removes from regulation 17 of the Procedure Regulations the requirement to give notice at the hearing where an inspection is to be made during or after the close of the hearing. The requirement to give at least 14 days' notice to the parties of the date, time and place of the inspection remains unchanged, but the opportunity has been taken to make minor drafting changes.
