RATES (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1977 - SECT 22



22.(1) Where in the case of any hereditament the owner is rated in respect
thereof in pursuance of Article 20, or has undertaken in pursuance of Article
21 to pay or collect the rates charged in respect thereof, the amount due from
him on account of those rates shall be recoverable by the Department from him
in like manner and subject to the like conditions as rates payable by the
occupier of a hereditament (not being an occupier by whom a notice under
Article 29 of his election to pay rates by instalments has been given and is
for the time being in force) are recoverable from the occupier.

(2) The Department may serve on an owner who is rated under Article 20 instead
of the occupier or who enters into an agreement with the Department under
Article 21 a notice requiring him to state to the Department in writing,
within a period and in the manner specified in the notice,

(a)the names and addresses of the occupiers of the hereditaments in respect of
which he is so rated or has so agreed; and

(b)such particulars with respect to the periods for which any of those
hereditaments have been unoccupied and with respect to the amount which he has
failed to collect from the occupiers as the Department may require for the
purpose of enabling it to determine what amount is properly due from the owner
under Article 20 or 21;

(3) Where the name of any person liable to be rated as owner of any
hereditament is not known to the Department, it shall be sufficient to assess
him to the rate by the description of the "owner" of the hereditament (naming
it) in respect of which the assessment is made, without further name or
description.

[(4) The Department may by order direct that for any percentage mentioned in
Article 20(4) or 21(1) there shall be substituted such other percentage as may
be specified in the order.

(5) An order under paragraph (4) shall be subject to affirmative resolution
and shall have effect from the beginning of the year after that in which it is
made.]
