(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations amend the prescribed form of notice which has to be served on a secure tenant under the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1983 before the court can entertain proceedings for possession of a dwelling-house let under a secure tenancy or for the termination of a secure tenancy, unless the court considers it just and equitable to dispense with the requirement for such a notice.
The amendment is in consequence of Articles 28 and 28A being substituted for Articles 28 of the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1983 by the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 2003.
