OFFICE AND SHOP PREMISES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1966 - SECT 68

Amendment of section 121(1) of Factories Act, and provisions consequential thereon.

68.(1) A person who, by reason of the terms of an agreement or lease relating
to any premises, is prevented from therein carrying out or doing any
structural or other alterations or other thing whose carrying out or doing is
requisite in order to secure compliance with a provision of this Act or of
regulations thereunder which is, or will become, applicable to the premises,
in order to comply with a requirement imposed by a notice served under
section 30(4) or 35(2) or in order to enable effect to be given to proposals
without contravention of a prohibition imposed by a notice served under
section 30(4), may apply to the county court, and the court may make such an
order setting aside or modifying any terms of the agreement or lease as the
court considers just and equitable in the circumstances of the case.

(2) Where the carrying out or doing in any premises of any structural or other
alterations or other thing whose carrying out or doing is requisite as
mentioned in subsection (1) involves a person having an interest in the
premises in expense or in increased expense, and he alleges that the whole or
part of the expenses or, as the case may be, the increase ought to be borne by
some other person having an interest in the premises, the first-mentioned
person may apply to the county court and the court, having regard to the terms
of any agreement or lease relating to the premises, may by order give such
directions with respect to the persons by whom the expense or increase is to
be borne, and in what proportions it is to be borne by them and, if need be,
for modification of the terms of any such agreement or lease so far as
concerns rent payable in respect of the premises as the court considers just
and equitable in the circumstances of the case.

Amendment of section 123(1) of Factories Act, and provisions consequential
