LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL (GENERAL
POWERS) ACT 1951
The London County Council (General Powers) Act 1951 came
into effect on 1st August, 1951.
Part 2 provides for the revision of certain sections of the
Public Health (London) Act, 1936, so that the determination
of questions arising between sanitary authorities and persons
aggrieved by the acts and decisions of such authorities, and
the hearing of appeals, are now matters for a court of
summary jurisdiction, whilst expenses formerly recoverable
by sanitary authorities from the owners of premises may now
be secured by a charge upon such premises, on the lines of
Section 291 of the Public Health Act, 1936, which applies
outside London.
