Notices.
A new form of Intimation for the abatement of nuisances under Section 3,
of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, was approved by the Vestry on the
26th April. The practical effect of the adoption of the new Intimation form was
to cease to specify the works to be executed for the abatement of a nuisance.
The following are the sub-sections and schedule applying to the service of a
Statutory Notice for the abatement of a nuisance:—
Public Health (London) Act, 1891.
SECTION 4.
(1) Notice requiring abatement of nuisance.—On the receipt of any information
respecting the existence of a nuisance liable to be dealt with summarily under
this Act the Sanitary Authority shall, if satisfied of the existence of a nuisance
serve a notice on the person by whose act, default or sufferance the nuisance arises
or continues, or if such person cannot be found, on the occupier or owner of the
premises on which the nuisance arises, requiring him to abate the same within the
time specified in the notice, and to execute such works and do such things as may
be necessary for that purpose, and, if the Sanitary Authority think it desirable
(but not otherwise), specifying any works to be executed.
